Camp Starfish

Based in NH, on the border of MA, Starfish is nestled on Lake Monomonac. We run multiple sessions throughout the summer, ranging from 5 days to 14 days, serving youth with social, emotional, learning, and behavioral challenges.

Many campers who attend Starfish have been asked to leave other summer or extra-curricular programs because the staff ratio, structure or program expectations did not set up children with extra needs for success. Some have never tried camp or spent any time away from home.

Some Starfish campers attend mainstream schools, often with IEPs or class aides. Some attend private therapeutic schools with small classes and multiple teachers. Others attend residential schools or alternative learning academies. Many have tried several school placements and are still trying to find the right fit. All are looking for a summer camp where social interactions are appropriate and simplified, where they are not the odd one out and where they can feel at home.

While enrollment is not open, we are actively taking inquiries.
