Texas Camps For Kids with Special Needs
TOTA student member Jenny M. Dorris has compiled and published
a booklet, Texas Camps for Special Kids as a partial requirement
for her Masters' degree in OT. Texas Campsites has listed these
camps with links offered to provide you with pertinent information
available for these camps. We also offer links to the camps' websites
to provide you with ability to further investigate the camps schedules,
credentials, and other information provided by their sites. Some
camps listed below do not have websites or their information is
limited. Texas Campsites intends to give you the vital information
that you need to contact these camps and find more information than
other sites offer for children with special needs.
