New Avenues Therapeutic Summer Camp

Application and Brochure are Available!

For over 20 years, the New Avenues Therapeutic Summer Camp in Lake County has provided a safe, structured, and engaging summer experience for children and young adults with disabilities. Serving approximately 85 participants ages 3–21 from Lake, Geauga, and Cuyahoga counties, our four-week program bridges the gap between school years while continuing to nurture growth, confidence, and connection.

​

Held during June and July, Summer Camp is designed to maintain and strengthen important academic, social, communication, and daily living skills — all within a fun and supportive camp environment. We believe summer should be joyful, meaningful, and filled with opportunities to thrive.

​​

Our program ensures individualized attention and support. Participants enjoy art, gym, music, and themed enrichment activities twice weekly, along with a special bonus event each week that keeps excitement high all summer long.

​

Physical, occupational, and speech therapy services are available for qualifying participants. A nurse is on-site at all times, and all staff members are CPR and First Aid certified and hold appropriate licensure through the Ohio Department of Education.

​

At New Avenues Therapeutic Summer Camp, we combine recreation and education in a way that reinforces each participant’s individualized goals — helping every child, teen, and young adult build skills, confidence, friendships, and lasting summer memories.
