Summer Special Education Camps

Camp Nuhop


Located in southern Ashland County, Camp Nuhop runs a residential summer camp and weekend respite programs for children with autism spectrum disorder, learning disabilities, attention deficit, mood disorders, and other neuro-atypical children. Our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, dynamic learning environment where people are empowered to succeed. In our structured programs, campers receive specialized placement with staff that understands their individuality. At camp, we start each session with each group of campers being placed in tribes (smaller camp groups) of three staff and seven campers. Our staff teach self-awareness, social development, and create a safe environment where friendships can be made and important life skills can be learned!
