Summer camp for ADHD

I'm looking to setup my 6 year old son for a day camp during the summer geared towards ADHD. I'm not having a lot of success in finding one in the Denton area. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I have been also for my 6 yo old Granddaughter whom we have been raising since 6 mos old. I have not found such a place in the Asheville NC area sadly. We desperately need help with her as we are elderly Grandparents with Health Issues. And she gets very bored. Shes a people person. There are day camps(none geared towards ADHD) that last a few hours a day here for 5 days over summer break only! Not sure she would "Fit" anyway. She started kindergarten this yr and loves it but she is now used to being around other kids almost daily. We live in a secluded area, no kids in sight. We take her to park playgrounds as much as we can, but there is often not anyone for her to play with. Yet she still pesters us to go constantly. I am dreading this summer for all of us. I was hoping she may find a play date friend at school. But with her maturity level being as it is in some areas, that hasn't happened. Sorry for the long rant. These kids NEED some outlets, to socialize. it is very frustrating to find that there is not! And if there may be? they are impossible to find bc I have been looking into it for months! Even asking Doctors. Good luck to you :)

I found this when I googled Special Needs Recreation Denton.

It looks like registration has closed but maybe contact the city to confirm that they will not accept any late registration.
