Camp Sequoia is an overnight summer camp for boys ages 8-17 and girls 9-16 to experience social skills success in a dynamic and nurturing environment. Many of our campers are diagnosed with ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). Our camper population also includes those who present with social anxiety, learning differences (which affect social skills development), or may not have a formal diagnosis yet present with social learning needs. Our innovative program integrates building Frustration Tolerance with Social Learning theory to help campers develop their social skills through a FUN active, traditional camp program.

Camp Sequoia is designed for children and teenagers with ADHD and other similar diagnoses who do not need the level of support offered at special needs overnight camps yet need a different experience than a traditional overnight camp can offer. Our 2:5 staffing ratio allows our campers to have fun and grow in a safe and supportive camp experience.

All our campers present with average to above average cognitive ability. The majority of our campers attend public schools where they are in mainstream education for all or a majority of the day. Some attend parochial schools, Jewish day schools, or private schools for students with learning differences. Our campers come from across the U.S.A. and internationally to be with us in the summer.

Parents choose Camp Sequoia because the experience we provide is much more than a summer camp. It is truly an investment in their child’s future success. The mission of Camp Sequoia is to help our campers have a great time while developing their social cognition (how to think in a social context and apply socially related skills). Without strong social cognition, it is difficult to be successful in life. Through integrating the social cognitive and frustration tolerance concepts and language into all aspects of camp life we create a full immersion into a fun, active social learning experience. Camp Sequoia is the first overnight summer camp designed specifically for our population to develop meaningful social connections.
