What Is an Assent-Based ABA Camp?
Our camp is a center-based, insurance-authorized Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) program that does not feel like a clinical setting. Each day blends individualized therapy goals with camp-style activities your child will genuinely enjoy.
In our assent-based model, your child's comfort, choices, and emotional state guide every session. Therapy pauses when a child needs a break. Learning happens through trust and motivation, not pressure.
Every child at camp has an individualized treatment plan. BCBA-supervised staff embed therapy goals into group activities, sensory breaks, and structured daily routines — so progress happens naturally.
Age Groups and Clinical Focus
Camp is organized into four small-group cohorts based on developmental stage, not age alone. Placement is determined by your child's care team.
