Children’s Camps

While all children’s summer camp and other overnight programs must by law accommodate children with dwarfism, some children also benefit from attending camps specifically for people with dwarfism:

• Camp Little People, a summer camp for children with dwarfism in Mileville, PA: https://lpadistrict2.org/camp-little-people/
• Camp Painted Turtle in California: https://www.thepaintedturtle.org/
• National Center for Physical Activity and the Disabled list of summer camps, with resources all over the USA: http://www.ncpad.org
• Special Needs Camps by individual disability and state: https://www.veryspecialcamps.com/
• Ask your skeletal dysplasia clinic if they know of summer camps, or look on google. Here is a good article on how to find a special needs summer camp: https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/finding-camp-special-needs.html
