Holiday Hill’s Finches: Where Every Child Can Soar
At Holiday Hill, we believe every child deserves a summer filled with laughter, friendship, and discovery.
There is a special need for Individualized Needs programs that combine a great camp experience with expert counseling and therapeutic techniques. We have developed such a program at Holiday Hill.
The Finches program is a small-group ‘camp-within-a-camp’ experience designed for children and teenagers who thrive with extra support and understanding. We celebrate neurodiversity and focus on helping each camper grow through fun activities and practical social-emotional learning. Campers build skills to manage emotions, cope with stress, and strengthen relationships—all in a setting where they feel safe and valued.
Imagine a summer where your child builds friendships, discovers new interests, and grows in confidence to better navigate social situations.
The Finches program provides a structured, supportive environment where campers practice social skills, learn self-regulation, and gain independence—all while having fun. Our strengths-based approach means we focus on what your child does well and use that as a foundation for growth.
We provide personalized support by observing each camper’s needs and making thoughtful adjustments—offering prompts, cues, and accommodations that help them succeed in social interactions and activities. These are skills that will serve them well at camp, in school, and at home.
The Finches enjoy the best of both worlds! The Finches have their own dedicated, specially trained counselors who lead small-group activities. They also take part in Holiday Hill’s main camp fun—swimming, arts and crafts, games, and more—with support tailored to their needs. When a quieter space is needed, The Finches have their own cozy area to regroup, reflect, and recharge.
Flexible enrollment: Choose the weeks that work best for your family! The Finches program runs throughout our eight-week summer season.
Who is The Finches program for? We welcome children with a wide range of neurodivergent experiences. Experience has proven our program is especially helpful for children with autism spectrum differences, ADHD, or social communication challenges. A formal diagnosis is not required—just a desire to grow and connect. Our focus is on creating a welcoming and adaptable environment for every child.
