New Residential Summer Camp for Children with Special Needs

Reece School will be launching a residential summer camp, Camp Reece, at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs this July.
 

Reece School is a nonprofit special education elementary school in New York City that was founded in 1948 by Ellen S. Reece.

Camp Reece aims to serve children on the autism spectrum, those with learning or intellectual disabilities, and those who are psychologically fragile. The staff will strive to help campers develop social, leadership, team building, communication, problem-solving, decision-making, and self-efficiency skills.

The Camp Reece staff, including counselors in the fields of reading, language, counseling, and physical and occupational therapy, will provide services tailored to the individual strengths and needs of each child. The counselors are college students and college graduates and the related-service staff are licensed or certified in their fields.
