About our camp
Welcome to Camp Kennebec. We are a summer camp for campers with exceptionalities; learning disabilities, and developmental delays including autism, ADHD, down Syndrome, OCD, brain injury, anxiety, social skill and other challenges. Each summer, Kennebecers have a great time and accomplish more than they expect. At Camp Kennebec, we help our campers create the fabulous summer camp memories they deserve. We’re looking forward to welcoming your camper to Kennebec this summer.
At Kennebec we specialize in celebrating each campers uniqueness, allowing our campers to be themselves in a safe and supportive environment. With a 2:1, camper to staff ratio; there is a lot of individual support to go around. We work with our campers, their families and their support teams at home to ensure a successful time at camp. Implementing any strategies that might help our campers while they are at camp and before arriving.
Camp programs & activities
Over the years, we’ve developed systems run by caring staff that make daily schedules possible for each camper. They’re based on what campers tell us they want to do and what parents tell us they’d like their campers to try. And while building more than 100 schedules each day is complicated, it’s worth it. When campers do what they like best each day, they thrive! Plus, our “choose your fun summer camp activities” approach builds independence and advocacy skills, while encouraging our campers to improve their decision-making abilities. It also reduces anxiety, as campers spend their day doing what they enjoy, and where they are comfortable.
