Often staff at a typical summer camp are unable to accommodate children or youth with TS Plus, whose challenges may include OCD, ADHD, mood disorders, neurological storms/rage episodes and so on. We are publishing this list of TS Plus-friendly camps now, since many camps require early registration, and some even have waiting lists, such as Camp Winston in Ontario. So if you’ve thought of planning a summer camp experience for your young one(s) this summer, it’s best to start acting soon. If you know of a summer camp that specializes in neurological or cognitive disorders that is not on this list, please let us know by emailing communications@tourette.ca and we will update it.
