Overview
The Tourette Syndrome Camp USA, founded in 1994, is a residential camping program designed for girls and boys ages 7 – 16+ whose primary diagnosis is Tourette Syndrome (or Tic Disorder) and OCD, and to a lesser degree ADD/ADHD. The goal of the camp is to allow children with TS an opportunity to meet other children, share similar experiences and coping mechanisms in a fun, safe and positive environment. We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
The TS camp is run concurrently with a traditional camp week at YMCA Camp Duncan. While there are separate cabins for the TS campers, all programming is done with the rest of the camp. However, we do have our own group time with the TS campers so they have an opportunity to share their experiences with each other. In addition, Camp Duncan is home to many medical camps such as ours which provide a safe, positive and understanding environment.
