Making A Difference

Success Stories

For the first time ever, my child was not only successful, but he enjoyed every day of his camp experience!

Camp Baker helps kids and parent build skills in a fun camp environment. The structure, clear expectations, and focus on praise, helps kids build confidence and feel good about themselves.

I left my child knowing he was safe and accepted.

Camp Baker's individualized approach really gives kids the tools they need in their toolbox to help them independently manage situations in the outside world.

The staff is so much better equipped to handle the specific needs of children with ADHD.

Camp Baker can give your child a successful summer

Finding the right camp for your child can feel like an uphill battle. So many of our past campers have expressed how Camp Baker was the first place they truly felt understood and accepted. Our mission is to make every child feel heard.
