Camp Akeela
Notes
In college, I worked at Camp Akeela in Thetford Center, Vermont (about half an hour from Hanover, NH). It’s a camp for kids who benefit from a little more structure and social skills instruction than you might find at a “typical” camp, but also provides the typical summer camp experience. Many of the campers are on the autism spectrum or are diagnosed with ADHD or a learning disability, but there is no “label” required to be a camper there. This summer, they are also opening a second campus in Wisconsin. As a counselor, those were some of the best summers of my life, and I know many campers and families who say the same!
Camp Akeela in Vermont
A 3.5 week sleep-away camp in the beautiful Green Mountains of Vermont. Campers live in cabins with up to 8 peers and 4 counselors. Traditional New England camp program includes arts, outdoor adventure & ropes course, athletics, pool & lakefront aquatics, and more!
Camp Akeela in Wisconsin
A 2 week sleep-away camp on the stunning Midwest campus of Lawrence University in central Wisconsin. Housing in college dorm halls is organized to create community and “cabin life” with peers and counselors. Program includes visual and performing arts, athletics, swimming, computer programming and more!
Programs For Older Teens & Families
In addition to our camps for grades 3 – 10, Akeela offers Beyond Akeela, preparing 11th and 12th graders for life after high school, with an emphasis on social skills, independent living skills, community service and FUN! Family Camp is a one-week Vermont overnight camp in mid-August for parents and children to bond and meet new friends.
