Please note that admission to this camp is not first-come-first served. Each applicant has a screening with one of the K-ABC SLPs to help determine their readiness for camp and what level of intervention is needed. Acceptance is based on the pairing of candidates who are of similar age and speech levels into dyads for the work they will do at camp. This screening typically takes place before spring break and the cost of the screening is $80. Most screenings take 30 – 45 minutes.
