My name is Kristin McMaster, and I am the co-director and founder of
Camp SkyWild. I'm reaching out to spread the word that we're bringing
Camp SkyWild to New Hampshire for the first time this summer. It's a
week-long overnight camp for neurodivergent kids ages 7-15: kids with
autism, ADHD, anxiety, and related support needs who deserve the same
formative camp experiences as their neurotypical peers. Our program
has run primarily in Michigan since 2013, but this summer we are
piloting an expansion to the northeast, and I'm hopeful to begin
spreading the word to local school districts and youth development
agencies.
We run low staff ratios, structured and predictable schedules,
activities driven by camper choice, and hold intensive staff training
for all of our volunteers to support campers so that they can show up
exactly as they are. Campers can shoot archery and slingshots, go
canoeing, kayaking and swimming, make a tie-dye shirt, climb a rock
wall, make a smore... the full traditional camp experience, just more
flexible and more supported.
NH Session: August 17-22 | Ages 7-15 | $2,500 (scholarships available)
Location: Camps Kenwood & Evergreen, 114 Eagle Pond Rd, Wilmot, NH 03287
Apply: https://campskywildnh.campbrainregistration.com/

We'd love for you to share this with your SEPAC or add us to your
district's family resource list if you are able. We are hoping to
establish partnerships and community here to last far into the future,
and I think that all becomes more possible as we build relationships
with people like you.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Warmly,
Kristin "Breezy" McMaster
