Summer Camp is Back at Behavior Frontiers: Fun, Friendship, and Foundational Growth

Behavior Frontiers’ 8-week summer program is back—exclusively for children ages 2 to 6 who are enrolled in ABA therapy at one of our centers. Starting mid-June, this enriching, ABA-based summer program blends purposeful fun with personalized developmental support and skill-building activities to help children grow across all key developmental areas—while having a whole lot of fun with peers.

Please note that this program is available only to children receiving services at a Behavior Frontiers center. If your child is currently receiving in-home services or has not yet enrolled with us, we invite you to contact us about transitioning to center-based care or enrolling in one of our state-of-the-art centers in time for summer.

A Unique Summer Experience Backed by Science

This isn’t your average summer camp. Our 8-week ABA-based program combines research-backed ABA therapy with playful, thematic experiences—led by trained professionals in a warm, inclusive environment where every child is seen, supported, and celebrated.

Each week, campers participate in engaging group activities—from music and crafts to sensory play and movement games—carefully aligned with their developmental goals. With trained behavior technicians guiding every moment, your child will enjoy summer fun while developing important communication, social, and daily living skills.

This program runs for 8 consecutive weeks at your local Behavior Frontiers centers from June 16th to August 8th – click here to find a location near you.
