EmpowerU Summer Camp: A Place Where Every Child Belongs and Grows
Fun, inclusive, and empowering — where neurodivergent kids build confidence, friendships, and real-life skills all summer long.
About EmpowerU Camp at Kendall Campus
- EmpowerU Summer Camp is an inclusive program designed to support neurodivergent children in building confidence, independence, and meaningful social connections through games, creative arts, movement, and hands-on activities. The camp provides a safe, welcoming, and structured environment where children can connect with peers, form friendships, and practice teamwork.
- This camp serves both kids and teens through a structured program designed to be age-appropriate, engaging, and developmentally aligned. Campers are grouped into three age brackets and rotate through themed courses throughout the week, each one hands-on, interactive, and skills-based, striking a balance between creativity, learning, and recreation.
