Therapeutic Recreation Services (TRS) offers affordable summer camp experiences for individuals with developmental disabilities, intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, physical disabilities, emotional disabilities, learning disabilities, and/or attention deficit disorders. The summer will be packed full of special events, art activities, sensory play, games, sports, outdoor play, music activities and more.

The camp serves ages 5 to 12 (5-year-olds must have completed kindergarten), and individuals ages 13 to 22 (22-year-olds who have not yet graduated). See more information on the Preschool Summer Camp.

All camp programs offer a variety of staff-to-participant ratios to ensure the different needs of all our campers are adequately met (ratios range from 1:2 to 1:5 at each site). Note: participants who require a constant 1:1 may need more support than this camp structure can provide. If you are unsure if your child will be successful in the program, please call the main TRS office to discuss eligibility.

Camp hours are from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.
 

Summer 2025 registration begins April 2, 2025.

Transportation

Therapeutic Recreation offers transportation to and/or from camp provided through a contract with Fairfax County Public Schools. If you choose to utilize this transportation option, the participant’s summer site will be determined by TRS based on the participant’s pick-up address. If you choose to provide your own transportation, you will have the ability to select the participant’s summer camp location.

 

Medication & Medical Procedures

Summer Camp staff are trained to provide personal care support, administer medication and select medical procedures to campers.

Note: a physician’s authorization for each medication and/or procedure that your child may need during camp hours is required prior to your child starting camp. These documents will be provided to you after a completed registration is reviewed by TRS staff.
