Weekend Camps

Unplug. Explore. Thrive.

An Inclusive Camp Designed Around How Children Truly Learn

Inclusive summer camp placeholder.png

The 7Q Inclusive Summer Camps are thoughtfully designed to support children of all abilities in a structured, welcoming environment. Our camps focus on inclusion, connection, and confidence-building, meeting each child where they are and honoring the many ways they experience the world. Through small groups and intentional programming, children are encouraged to explore, engage, and grow at their own pace.

At the heart of our camps is the Seven Senses approach. Beyond the five traditional senses, children also learn through movement, body awareness, emotions, and connection. By recognizing and supporting these different sensory experiences, our programs create space for meaningful learning, self-awareness, and positive social interaction, all within a calm, supportive setting.

2026

Led by Experienced Staff 

Our Weekend Camps are led by experienced professionals with backgrounds in special education, ABA, and inclusive programming. Each session is guided by a Lead Instructor and supported by two Assistants, ensuring campers receive individualized attention in a safe, supportive environment.

Small Group Size

Each Weekend Camp group includes up to six campers, allowing staff to meet children where they are and respond to individual needs in real time.

 

Low group sizes support smoother transitions, stronger peer relationships, and a calm, predictable experience where campers can engage, explore, and grow with confidence.

Multiple Spaces

Campers enjoy access to multiple indoor and outdoor learning spaces designed to support a variety of activities and sensory needs. From creative areas and quiet zones to open play spaces, children can move, explore, and learn in environments that suit their comfort and interests.

Secured Playground

Our secured playground offers a safe, enclosed outdoor space for movement, exploration, and play. Designed with safety and accessibility in mind, this area supports gross motor development, social interaction, and joyful outdoor experiences—giving families peace of mind while children play freely.

Designated Homerooms

Each group is assigned a designated home base space tailored to their developmental level and support needs.

 

These spaces provide consistency and routine, helping campers feel grounded and secure as they begin and end their session. Visual supports, age-appropriate materials, and structured setups help reduce transitions and support independence throughout the day.

7Q Weekend Camps 2026

Finding consistent, meaningful weekend activities for differently abled kids and teens can be a challenge, especially ones that offer calm, connection, and growth. That’s why 7Q Weekend Day Camps were created: an inclusive, nature-based experience designed for kids who thrive in smaller, more supportive environments. From creative play to outdoor exploration, our weekend camps let each child grow at their own pace.

Our weekend camps are designed as mixed-age group experiences, where participants are thoughtfully organized into small sub-groups based on interests, social-emotional profiles, and support needs, rather than chronological age alone.

  • Ages: 6 to 12 years

  • Group Size & Ratio: Small groups with a 1:5 staff-to-camper ratio

  • Grouping Approach: Flexible sub-groups formed based on shared interests, engagement level, and individual profiles to support meaningful interaction and participation

 

Participant Requirements:

  • Campers must be independently toilet trained

  • Campers who present with significant safety needs (including elopement, self-injurious behaviors, or aggression) are welcome to attend with a caregiver present to ensure appropriate support and safety

Our goal is to create a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment where all participants can thrive while receiving the level of support they need.

Important Information

Intake & Support Planning

After completing online registration, a Program Coordinator from The 7Q Foundation will follow up with a brief intake form to learn more about your child and how we can best support them during camp. The intake form helps us understand each camper’s strengths, interests, and support needs so we can create a safe, positive experience for everyone. We ask families to share information related to:

  • Behaviors that may impact safety, such as difficulty remaining with the group or challenges with impulse control

  • Self-injurious behaviors or safety-related concerns

  • PICA, Motor or vocal tics

  • Any medical, behavioral, or emotional needs that may require additional planning or support

Sharing this information allows our team to thoughtfully plan staffing, accommodations, and supports. In some cases, we may reach out for clarification or to discuss whether additional supports are needed to ensure a successful experience.Our intention is always support and preparedness, not exclusion, so that every camper feels safe, understood, and welcomed.

Abstract Color Patterns

Camp Grouping by Developmental Age (as applicable)

Camp groups are thoughtfully organized based on developmental age, social-emotional readiness, and support needs, rather than chronological age alone. This ensures that each child is placed in a group where they can feel confident, supported, and successful.

  • Group Size: 6 campers (each group has 6 spots)

  • Ratio: 1 Lead Teacher + 2 Assistants

Group 1: Ages 5–7 Years

This group supports early learners who benefit from structured routines, visual supports, and guided social interaction. Programming emphasizes communication, play skills, emotional regulation, and foundational independence through hands-on activities and movement-based learning.

Group 2: Ages 7–9 Years

Designed for campers developing stronger peer relationships and cooperative skills, this group focuses on collaboration, problem-solving, and flexibility. Activities encourage independence while still providing structured supports and adult guidance as needed.

Group 3:  Ages 9–12 Years

This group serves campers ready for higher-level social engagement, leadership opportunities, and executive functioning challenges. Programming supports self-advocacy, teamwork, and independence through project-based learning and group challenges.

Group 4:  12–15

This group is designed for pre-teens and teens who are building independence, self-advocacy, and peer relationships. Programming focuses on leadership development, executive functioning, collaboration, and real-world skill building through age-appropriate projects, group discussions, and hands-on activities.
