My child learns differently from others and is very shy around other children until she gets to know them better. Does knowing that help you to provide a better experience for her?

Yes! Children with many different backgrounds and learning styles join us at Camp Intrepid. Having many different types of children in our program brings the most interesting team and individual projects to fruition. Please tell us anything we should know about your child that will help them have a more complete and engaging experience at Camp Intrepid – especially any strategies or accommodations that are used at school or at home.
