Saturday Respite Care

2nd & 4th Saturday of the Month
8:30 am to 5:30 pm
Meals Included

Respite revitalizes the spirit and rests the soul.

Camp Holiday provides year-round respite care, even when school is not in session during spring and summer breaks. This gives families and caregivers a temporary break from day-to-day demands. Parents spend time with siblings, families regain a sense of normalcy, and the children have a fun-filled day in a safe and caring environment.

Many children with emotional and behavioral disabilities are unable to attend day camps and other enrichment programs, because staff are not trained to manage their behaviors. The Camp Holiday staff has the sensitivity and training to make day camp a positive experience. We have a 1:6 adult-to-child ratio, so children get the extra care they need.

Camp Activities

Camp Holiday offers social skill development, academic tutoring and homework completion skills, as well as group activities such as team sports and arts and crafts projects. These activities build self esteem, positive self-imaging and appropriate peer relationships. Children discover new friends, challenging adventures and self confidence.

Family Relief

Respite offers families a sense of normalcy, a chance to recuperate and the encouragement to believe that things will get better.
