Exceptional summer camp for extraordinary kids
INTENTIONAL PROGRAMMING
At Camp Tall Tree, we believe in creating a world that fits our campers, rather than shaping our campers to fit the world. To that end, we consider camper perspective and needs in all that we plan and do. This includes:
Challenge by choice activities
Visual expectations and reminders
Sensory break areas, including access to quiet spaces during any noisy parts of the day
Structured & predictable daily schedule
Access to visual & written communication systems with staff
LOW STAFF RATIOS
We hire a large team of volunteer counselors to give our campers every opportunity for success. Our cabin ratio is 2:1 (camper to counselor). When campers need more support, our counselors have the flexibility and skill to shift their supervision and provide individual attention and assistance needed. They are skilled with scaffolding conversation and supporting relationship building to help kids make friends who may typically struggle with initiating friendships. When campers are exploring the social dynamics of their group and working on doing things with more independence, our staff give space and encourage them to try new things with courage and confidence.
