Summer Day Camps
The Arc designs and offers summer day camp programs for children and teens with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities. Summer camps have high staff to camper ratios (1:3, 1:2, or 1:1) and supervisors to support each camper’s unique needs.
When attending a summer camp, you’ll get a traditional day camp experience with activities adapted to individual needs. Each camp features a theme and activities including:
- Arts and crafts
- Music therapy
- Swimming
- Games
- Field trips
The Arc offers day camps Monday to Friday for eight weeks each summer.

Tuition
Tuition for each student is determined by registered dates of attendance. The Arc accepts funding from ID, BI, and HD Waivers for those enrolled in these programs. Scholarships, financial aid, and grant programs are available for qualifying students.
