‘Tis the season…for winter camps!
Winter break tends to arrive before we know it, and if “find the perfect winter camp” is on your to-do list, it might be time to hit go. It can be tough to find the right camp, especially when your child has their own unique needs, routines, and sensitivities, and not every camp or program is set up to truly support them. That’s why our Undivided Research Team put together a list of winter camps across California created with accessibility and inclusion at heart.
Whether you’re looking for a day program close to home or a sleepaway adventure, there’s something for every child — from STEAM and robotics to adaptive sports, performing arts, therapy-based play, social skills building, and beyond. Check out our full list of winter camps.
Questions about winter camps?
Whether it’s your first time sending your child to camp or you’ve been through the process before, finding the right fit can feel tricky.
- Free guide→ We’ve put together a winter camp guide that answers your top questions — Can Regional Center fund camps? What should camps provide for my child? How do I make sure a camp is the right fit? Read our guide to winter camps here→
- Member perk→ Undivided members can follow our easy, step-by-step walkthrough in the Undivided app to request extra Regional Center funding for camp!
✨ Undivided parent tip ✨ If a winter camp is on your list, don’t wait too long! Options are more limited than summer, especially for therapeutic programs, and spots go quickly. Now’s the time to secure your spot! And if you’re looking for camps and programs specific to your area, join Undivided to learn about getting a custom research report from our Research Team!
