Narrative

Camp Ramapo is a residential summer camp serving children ages 6-­16 with a range of emotional/behavioral challenges, including children on the Autistic spectrum. This summer camp is ideal for youth who benefit from increased structure & supervision. The program is focused on the development of positive social & self­ help skills, forming productive relationships, & having fun in a safe & well cared for environment.

 Camp Ramapo is an inclusive environment purposefully designed for children having difficulty building and maintaining healthy relationships with peers and adults. The daily program and activities are carefully structured to meet the needs of children who can benefit from a higher ­than ­average level of supervision, an engaging environment, and a character-building curriculum, all of which Ramapo provides.
