Summer Camp
The Celebrate Ability Summer Camp program runs for nine weeks through the summer and is filled with fun activities for your child. The Summer Camp schedule complements the ESY school day and operates from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm at St. James Episcopal Church in Potomac. Campers should bring a packed lunch on days when camp is open outside of ESY or if the camper does not attend ESY.
We offer a variety of indoor and outdoor activities in the Summer Camp that explore categories such as:
- Creative Arts
- Music, Group Singing, and Dance
- Communication and Social Skills
- Group Games and Sports
- Cooking and Arts and Crafts

Campers can sing their heart out to their favorite pop tunes!
Whether engaging in water play, having fun with bubbles, or participating in sports, time spent outdoors provides the perfect opportunity to enjoy some sunshine!
This activity provides key sensory input. Over time, sensory play can help reduce both sensory seeking and avoidance behaviors. Common activities include tactile toys such as modeling clay, water play, and bouncing on a trampoline or yoga ball.
The strategies and poses taught in our yoga classes promote focus, calming, and self-regulation by aiding in stress reduction while increasing body awareness, strength, and flexibility.
Campers will move and groove to the latest dance steps put together in a low-impact aerobics format! It makes working out fun by incorporating funky and hip steps.
Campers visit community sites in small groups for recreational activities and to practice functional life skills including purchasing, social skills, and communication.
Not only is cooking a fun and tasty activity, but it also teaches valuable life skills such as emergent reading, following instructions, measuring, taking turns, and communication.
Students will first have the opportunity to watch a professional drummer jam on the drums. Then, each student gets the chance to play the drums themselves, hammering out a beat of self-expression.
Our Arts and Crafts activities provide students with an opportunity to engage in self-expression while creating fun projects.
During boot camp, students will get quite the workout. They will be provided with the opportunity to get in shape while, at the same time, build their strength and confidence.
Transportation can be arranged through the county from the student’s ESY location to our centrally located camp.
At Celebrate Ability, your child’s summer days will be filled with fun, learning, and new experiences they can take home with them even after the program ends.
All of our camps offer engaging activities and knowledgeable specialists.
