Camp Baker
About
Experience the joy of summer! Camp Baker, an Official Partner Camp of Hale, is designed to bring the fun, camaraderie and life-building experiences of a day camp to children with ADHD. The 6-week program takes children (age 6 – 12) who otherwise maybe challenged in traditional camp programs and works with them as individuals to develop skills and confidence that translate into success at home and in school. Camp Baker is overseen by a licensed clinical psychologist and fosters friendship building, combats the “summer slide,” and allows kids to experience the simple joys of summer camp including, art, sports, group activities and weekly Fun Friday activities. With a 2:1 ratio of campers to specially-trained staff, individualized programs for campers, and regular skills training for caregivers, Camp Baker is the perfect summer option for families of children with ADHD.
