A Day Camp for Children with Disabilities
Camp Geronimo is for children ages 6—12 years. We work with children with physical disabilities, children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and children with other special needs. Our barn is completely handicapped-accessible and our staff is trained to work with children of all abilities.
At The Barn, our focus is on the unique connection between animals and children and their special love for one another. Interacting with animals provides campers with matchless motivation to participate in sensory and physical activities. Whether it’s feeding a baby calf from a bottle, milking a cow, or grooming one of our miniature horses, we guarantee distinctive and memorable experiences for all campers!
One-to-One Counselor to Camper Ratio
The one-to-one counselor to camper ratio ensures that all children can take advantage of the full range of activities and be safely supported throughout the day. Campers’ special needs are accommodated by an on-site nurse.

At Hill Top, we offer three specialized programs designed to help neurodiverse students learn, grow, and thrive in a supportive and engaging environment:
☀️ Hill Top Summer Adventures
A day camp for students entering Grades 2–9, filled with hands-on activities that build confidence, spark creativity, and strengthen social connections.
🌿 Pathways to Independence
A life-skills program for Grades 10–post-grad (summer after 12th grade), focused on developing independence, community engagement, and transition readiness.
🎮 Esports & Technology
For Grades 6–12, this program blends gaming, teamwork, and tech exploration while promoting communication, collaboration, and digital literacy.
We’re proud to integrate the PEERS® Program, an evidence-based social skills curriculum, into our Pathways to Independence program for motivated teens. Middle school campers can also join a two-week PEERS® group (8:00–9:30 a.m.) for an additional fee, allowing them to participate in both PEERS® and the full camp experience.
Our compassionate team maintains a 4:1 camper-to-staff ratio, ensuring personalized support and meaningful connections. Many families participate through Extended School Year (ESY) funding. We are happy to work with your school district to coordinate enrollment.
Join us this summer at Hill Top—where confidence grows, friendships flourish, and every camper can say, “Yes, I can!”
Neurodiverse learners entering grades 2 through 12.
