Abstract: The article reports on strategies for camp staff to collaborate with parents of children with special needs to ensure an inclusive and supportive camp experience. It highlights the growing number of children with developmental disabilities and autism, emphasizing the importance of viewing parents as partners rather than just sources of information. The text outlines practical steps, such as designing purposeful intake forms, conducting pre-camp consultations, and creating one-page camper profiles to help staff understand individual needs. Additionally, it discusses the value of establishing clear communication protocols and adopting a collaborative problem-solving approach to address challenges and build trust between families and camp personnel.
