SUMMER CAMP PROGRAMMING - CAMP SAY IS AN ACA-ACCREDITED SLEEP-AWAY CAMP FOR KIDS WHO STUTTER, THEIR YOUNG FAMILY MEMBERS, AND FRIENDS, AGES 8-18. CAMP TAKES PLACE AT POCONO SPRINGS CAMP IN EAST STROUDBURG, PA, 90 MINUTES FROM NYC. CAMP PROVIDES A SAFE, SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT WHERE KIDS WHO STUTTER CAN KICK BACK, RELAX, AND HAVE FUN, WHILE DISCOVERING NEW INTERESTS AND TALENTS. THEY TAKE ON EXCITING ACTIVITIES AND CHALLENGES THAT EXPAND THEIR COMFORT ZONES AND BUILD UP THEIR SELF-CONFIDENCE. THEY LEAVE CAMP FEELING READY TO TAKE ON CHALLENGES AT HOME AND PARTICIPATE MORE FULLY IN SCHOOL, NOT LETTING STUTTERING HOLD THEM BACK.

ARTS PROGRAMMING - SAY HAS PIONEERED A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO STUTTERING TREATMENT USING THE ARTS TO HELP KIDS WHO STUTTER EXPRESS THEMSELVES EFFECTIVELY. PARTICIPANTS DEVELOP PRACTICAL COMMUNICATION SKILLS WHILE LEARNING THAT COMMUNICATING THEIR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN HIDING THEIR STUTTERING FROM OTHERS. SAY PROVIDES A SPACE WHERE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO STUTTER CAN COME TOGETHER AND FORGE FRIENDSHIPS WITH OTHERS WHO CAN RELATE TO THEIR STRUGGLES AND CELEBRATE THEIR TRIUMPHS.

YOUNG PEOPLE WHO STUTTER HAVE ENDLESS FUN WHILE BUILDING COMMUNICATION SKILLS, IMPROVING SELF-ESTEEM, AND FORGING IMPORTANT FRIENDSHIPS IN THEIR HOME TOWN. ACTIVITIES OFFERED AT EACH CAMP WILL VARY, BUT ALL PROGRAMS ARE SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO MEET EACH CHILD'S INDIVIDUAL GOALS AND NEEDS. SO INSTEAD OF WORRYING ABOUT STUTTERING, KIDS CAN EXPERIENCE THE JOY OF BEING A CHILD AT CAMP.
