Chartwell Inclusion Program
Where Every Camper Belongs, Grows, and Thrives
At Chartwell, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to experience the magic of summer camp. Our Inclusion Program provides a welcoming, supportive environment for campers with physical, intellectual, developmental, or behavioral needs while encouraging participation in traditional camp activities alongside their peers.
With the guidance of trained and dedicated staff, campers build confidence, develop friendships, strengthen social skills, and gain independence through fun, engaging activities.
What Our Program Offers
Inclusive Camp Experience: Campers spend the majority of their day participating in activities with their assigned age groups.
Individualized Support: Staff provide guidance and encouragement based on each camper's unique needs.
Small-Group Activities: Weekly opportunities for social interaction, teamwork, and skill development.
Sensory & Emotional Support: Opportunities for breaks and regulation when campers need time to recharge.
Fun & Engaging Activities: Swimming, arts and crafts, outdoor recreation, interactive learning, and group games.
Structure & Routine: A consistent daily schedule that encourages comfort, confidence, and independence.
Our Mission
Our goal is to create a safe, inclusive, and memorable summer where every camper feels valued, supported, and empowered to succeed.
For families participating in Extended School Year (ESY) or other educational programs, our Inclusion Program offers an additional opportunity to develop social-emotional skills, build friendships, and enjoy the summer camp experience.
