Helping Kids Grow Through Fun, Structure, and Support
At Bravely Minded, our summer camp is designed for neurodivergent children to practice social skills, build emotional regulation, and gain confidence — all while having fun in a safe, supportive environment.
-
Campers are grouped with peers of similar ages to ensure programming feels developmentally appropriate and socially meaningful. This way, every child practices skills with others at a similar stage of growth.
-
Our activities are fun, engaging, and grounded in science:
Social Play & Group Games – to practice communication and teamwork.
Creative Expression – arts, crafts, music, and movement to build confidence.
Positive Reinforcement Activities – evidence-based strategies that make learning fun.
Mindfulness & Coping Skills – strategies to help kids manage emotions.
Outdoor Fun – physical play and group challenges for growth and connection.
-
Every part of our program is built on research-based strategies proven to help kids thrive. We use:
Positive reinforcement
Structured social-emotional learning
Skill-building activities that balance fun + growth

Professional Staff & Support
Bravely Minded is not your typical camp.
Camp is led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and a School Psychologist.
All staff are specially trained in behavior support and social-emotional learning.
We maintain a low camper-to-staff ratio, so every child gets personalized guidance and encouragement.
Enrollment Process
Space is limited to ensure small groups and individualized fun.
Enrollment includes a screening process with a BCBA or School Psychologist to make sure the program is the right fit for your child.
