An Inclusive Camp Designed Around How Children Truly Learn
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.

7 Senses: Inclusive Winter Camp 2026
Led by Experienced Staff
Our camps are led by trained professionals with backgrounds in special education, behavior support, therapy, and inclusive programming. Staff are carefully selected for their experience, compassion, and commitment to creating safe, engaging, and supportive environments for children of all abilities. Team members information will be added to the website soon.
Small Group Size
We maintain intentionally small group sizes to ensure individualized attention, strong relationships, and meaningful engagement. Low camper-to-staff ratios allow us to meet each child where they are while supporting social growth, collaboration, and confidence. Our staff to camper ratio is 1:4, and this year we will accept a maximum of 8 campers per group.
Winter Camp Program Campus
Our 7Q Inclusive Winter Camp will be hosted at The Learning Acres (TLA) Academy campus in Vienna, conveniently located just five minutes from our summer camp site. The campus offers a welcoming, school-style environment thoughtfully designed to support children of different ages, abilities, learning styles, and sensory needs.
Each group will have a designated homeroom based on age and developmental needs, providing a familiar, structured home base with visual supports, age-appropriate materials, and predictable routines. Our goal is to create a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment where every child feels comfortable, supported, and excited to explore, connect, and grow.
Special Needs Accommodations & Sensory Supports
Sensory break rooms and quiet regulation spaces are available throughout the day, offering calm environments for regulation, decompression, or individualized support. These spaces include appropriate sensory tools and are supported by trained staff focused on emotional safety and choice.
Accommodations are individualized and may include visual supports, movement breaks, flexible scheduling, and small-group activities, ensuring each child can participate comfortably and meaningfully.

Program Structure
Each age group is assigned a designated homeroom where campers begin and end their day. Groups transition to activity rooms one group at a time, ensuring smooth movement, reduced sensory overload, and increased safety. All activity stations are pre-set with materials and supports tailored to each age group’s developmental level and individual needs, allowing for meaningful engagement, accessibility, and success for every camper.

Parent Communication
We use ClassDojo as our primary platform for daily communication with families. Through ClassDojo, parents will receive routine updates, photos, announcements, and general information about their child’s camp experience. For urgent matters or emergencies, we will contact families directly using the phone numbers on file. Likewise, parents should use phone communication only for time-sensitive or emergency situations. This approach allows our staff to remain focused on supporting campers during the day while keeping families informed in a timely and organized way.
Important Information
Intake & Support Planning
After completing online registration, a Program Coordinator from our team will follow up with a brief intake form to help us understand how to best support your child during camp. The intake form allows us to plan appropriately for safety, staffing, and accommodations. Families are asked to share information related to:
-
Safety-related behaviors (e.g., elopement, impulse control challenges, PICA)
-
Self-injurious behaviors or other safety concerns
-
Motor or vocal tics (including Tourette’s)
-
Medical, behavioral, or emotional needs requiring additional planning
This information helps our team prepare thoughtfully and, when needed, follow up to ensure appropriate supports are in place. Our goal is preparedness and support, not exclusion, so every camper has a safe, positive, and successful experience.
Our Popular 7 Senses Approach: Exploring, Learning & Growing Through Every Sense
Children experience and understand the world in many different ways. Beyond the five traditional senses, learning also happens through movement, body awareness, emotions, and connection. Our Seven Senses approach celebrates these differences, creating opportunities for every child to explore, discover, and connect in ways that feel natural, engaging, and supportive. At 7Q Inclusive Winter Camp, this approach comes to life through winter-themed sensory adventures, creative activities, movement, hands-on exploration, and meaningful social experiences. Each activity is thoughtfully designed to accommodate different abilities, interests, and sensory needs, providing a welcoming environment where children can build confidence, develop independence, form friendships, and experience the joy of winter together.
Sight
Seeing the World
Children engage in visual exploration that supports creativity, observation, and expression. Activities encourage noticing details, using imagination, and understanding the world through visual experiences.
Hearing
Listening & Connecting
Sound, rhythm, and communication help children develop listening skills and social awareness. Through music, conversation, and auditory activities, children build connection and confidence in how they communicate with others.
Touch
Hands-On Discovery
Hands-on experiences support fine motor skills, body awareness, and self-regulation. Through textures and movement-based activities, children learn how to interact with their environment in a calm and supportive way.
Smell
Memory & Mindfulness
Scent-based experiences encourage emotional connection and moments of calm awareness. These activities help children build positive associations, support regulation, and engage their senses in a gentle, mindful way.
Taste
Exploration & Life Skills
Food-based activities support sensory exploration, independence, and shared experiences. Children build confidence through trying new foods, participating in preparation, and practicing practical life skills.
Proprioception
Knowing My Body
Movement-focused activities help children develop strength, balance, coordination, and confidence. By understanding how their bodies move through space, children strengthen self-regulation and physical awareness.
Interoception
Knowing Myself & Others
Children learn to recognize emotions, develop self-advocacy, and build empathy. Activities support social connection and emotional understanding, helping children feel more confident in themselves and their relationships with others.
Sarah - Mom of two campers
"This was the first camp where my child truly felt safe, understood, and excited to attend each day. The staff didn’t just supervise, they connected. They met my child where they were, respected their needs, and helped them grow in confidence and independence. For the first time, camp felt joyful instead of overwhelming."
Peggy - Mom of two campers
I highly recommend the 7Q All-Inclusive Summer Camp. Both of my children—one neurotypical and one with special needs—had an amazing experience. The program is truly inclusive, well-structured, and engaging, with daily activities led by skilled therapists, special education teachers, and a compassionate team. What stood out most was how much both of my children grew socially while genuinely having fun. It’s a safe, supportive environment where kids truly thrive.
