We've tried many summer camp programs — some with more structure than others.
Factors in choosing a summer camp program includes putting trust in the counselors.
Attending summer camp is a rite of passage — the chance for kids to be loud, get dirty, or jump in a pool 50 times in a row if they want. But for neurodiverse kids and their parents, the experience can be agonizing, stressful, and filled with dread, tear...
