Specialty summer camps for children who learn differently.
Miriam School and Learning Center's academic and social skills specialty camps are ideal for children entering grades K-8 who need specialized learning programs to progress. Families choose Miriam's summer camps because their children receive personalized instruction that caters to campers who learn differently. Small groups, a variety of research-based interventions, and certified/licensed professionals ensure campers receive the instruction they need to improve self-confidence and build skills. Miriam helps students with or without diagnosed disabilities learn and grow. Let us help set your child up for success with academic, therapeutic, executive function, and social/emotional skills!
