Connecticut families know the drill: a bright kid can do fine academically, but still struggle with the social and organizational parts of life. Camp Sequoia is built for that exact profile.
We’re an overnight summer camp in Pennsburg, Pennsylvania, serving kids who need more support than an neurotypical camp can provide, especially related social learning needs. Our goal is simple: help campers have the best summer of their lives and building skills that make the school year easier.
The Sequoia difference is how intentionally we run a ‘normal’ camp day. Activities are fun and varied, but the schedule is predictable. Expectations are clear. Staff coach social cognition and frustration tolerance in-the-moment, which keeps lessons relevant and reduces awkward interactions.
Campers can choose from STEM, D&D, larping, athletics, art, outdoor adventure, and waterfront time, all within a campus designed for success. We have multiple gyms, courts, a competition-sized pool, and an 800-acre lake.

Connecticut campers often benefit from the way we ‘right-size’ social life. There’s plenty of interaction, but it’s supported and that helps kids practice new skills without feeling overwhelmed.
Our admissions process is collaborative. We’ll talk through your child’s strengths, challenges, and goals, and we can connect you with families who’ve been in your shoes.
