Learn How SOAR Has Changed Lives for Families Like Yours

Joseph B.

My son has been to many camps over the years, but SOAR is hands down the best! He’s now been to 4 sessions. The staff and counselors are all top notch, and really understand kids with ADHD. The program instills confidence and supports independence through engaging, exciting and challenging adventures and experiences. The bonds my son formed in one of the longer sessions (Academic Discovery) have lasted and boys from his group are regularly in touch even now. SOAR may just be the best thing I’ve ever done for my son!

Frank D.

Dad, can I come back next year? That’s what you want to hear when you come to pick up your kid from summer camp. They have had a great time.

Adventure camp is the most suiting description for this experience. All the experiences, guiding from the counselors and the interactions with the other kids made my son more self confident. I’ll gladly let him return next year.

Lakshmi S.

Our son attended the Belize 10-day camp, and he was 15 at the time. As a 2e kid, who was initially reluctant to go, he did so well and connected with not only the group, but the leaders, too. Big John was an excellent mentor and really helped to build confidence with positive feedback. SOAR’s method of structured independence and earned responsibility was one in which our son thrived. We’d recommend this SOAR program!

SOAR has been proudly serving children and young adults with ADHD and LD since 1977.
