CAYR Camp Summer 2026 is now enrolling! 🌿✨

At CAYR Camp, movement, curiosity, connection, and calm all belong.

Our camp is designed to be neuroaffirming, play-based, and sensory-supportive, giving children space to explore, build, investigate, rest, and connect in ways that feel natural to them.

With a small-group model of 4 kids per adult, children receive meaningful support while engaging in hands-on discovery, sensory play, quiet focus, and movement-based activities.

✨ 4 kids per adult

Some kids don’t thrive in traditional camp settings—and that’s not a flaw, it’s a mismatch.

You might recognize your child here.
The one who does best when there’s structure—but also room to breathe.
Who feels overwhelmed in high-pressure environments.
Who needs movement, breaks, or sensory supports to fully engage.
Who lights up when they can follow their own curiosity.

Too often, kids like this are expected to adjust themselves to fit the environment.

At CAYR, we do the opposite.

We build an environment that meets them where they are—so they can feel comfortable, capable, and genuinely themselves.

Our team includes neurodivergent staff who bring both lived experience and professional insight into how they support campers.

🌿 A few spots are still available for this summer.

If this sounds like your child, we’d love to connect. Apply at the link in our bio or reach out to [email protected]

Curiosity starts here 🔍🐞

At CAYR Connections Summer Camp 2026, learning is hands-on, sensory-rich, and child-led.

Because learning doesn’t have to look one way — and every child deserves a place where their curiosity can shine. ✨
Curiosity • Discovery • Play

Few spots available — now enrolling!

Calm moments matter, too... 📚✨

At CAYR Connections, our summer camp spaces are designed with children in mind — places where they can explore, play, create, connect, and also slow down when they need a calmer moment.

Whether it’s curling up with a book, spending time with friends, or finding a cozy spot to reset, we believe children thrive when they feel safe, welcomed, and supported.

We can’t wait to fill this space with curiosity, joy, and summer memories. 🌈☀️
