Hello

I am looking for a several week therapeutic summer camp for a 14 year old girl with ADHD, depression, anxiety, refusing school, cell phone addiction, oppositional defiance. She just finished a partial hospitalization program - - it was a great start, but it was only 2 weeks and we just barely scratched the surface with developing better coping skills and habits. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? We have been told about Wilderness programs, but they seem more for substance use disorders. thank you.

Look into odysseyteencamp.com

It’s not a therapeutic camp per say but a very open, inclusive and welcoming group. Most all of the kids who attend struggle with anxiety, depression etc

They also accommodate medication needs.

And a big perk …. NO CELL PHONES

Good luck!!

SOAR camps might be of interest?

I’ve been looking at Camp Sequoia. It’s prohibitively expensive for us, though. They have a half-summer program ($7,000+) and a full-summer program ($13,000+)camp-sequoia.com/about/who/
