Camp Akeela Vermont and Wisconsin are overnight summer camps for boys and girls ages 9 - 18. Akeela campers are seeking a fun-filled, traditional camp experience that supports their social growth. Our campers, who are typically described as bright and creative, struggle to make social connections with their peers. They need practice and guidance in reading non-verbal cues, exhibiting empathy, or understanding social nuances. Many, but not all, have been diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome or a non-verbal learning disability.
Our mission is to provide these campers with an incredible, life-changing summer experience within a well-rounded, traditional camp program. Akeela’s small, supportive community helps campers improve their social skills, make friends, gain self-confidence and have fun!
