Summer camp for kids can be a lot of fun, and can lead to great skill development, as well as social development.

However, for kids with ADHD, it can lead to frustration, behavioral problems, and social difficulties.

The development of camps specifically designed for kids with ADHD is a great resource for parents who want their kids to have fun, and also receive an appropriate environment for their ADHD.

I came across a news video from New York, which you can see if you click the picture below. While I do not have a directory of ADHD camps for everyone, I think this video could give a parent an understanding of this as a possibility, and the video demonstrates the major components of a camp program for ADHD kids.

Enjoy the video!

N.B. As you can see - credit goes to ‘ABC-7- Eyewitness News’ for this story. Thanks for a great one. (opens in Windows media player) (also, you need to watch a brief ad before it gets into the content)
