Helping kids grow through fun, structure, and support

At Mind Braid, our summer camp is designed for neurodivergent children to practice social skills, build emotional regulation, and gain confidence — all while having fun in a safe, supportive environment.

  • Campers are grouped with peers of similar ages to ensure programming feels developmentally appropriate and socially meaningful. This way, every child practices skills with others at a similar stage of growth.

    • Session: July 6 – July 31, 2026

    • Camp Day: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM

    • Before Care: 7:30 – 9:00 AM (additional cost)

    • After Care: 3:00 – 6:30 PM (additional cost)
      📍 Location: Northern Virginia

  • Our activities are fun, engaging, and grounded in science:

    • Social Play & Group Games – to practice communication and teamwork.

    • Creative Expression – arts, crafts, music, and movement to build confidence.

    • Positive Reinforcement Activities – evidence-based strategies that make learning fun.

    • Mindfulness & Coping Skills – strategies to help kids manage emotions.

    • Outdoor Fun – physical play and group challenges for growth and connection.

  • Mind Braid is not your typical camp.

    • Camp is led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and a School Psychologist.

    • All staff are specially trained in behavior support and social-emotional learning.

    • We maintain a low camper-to-staff ratio, so every child gets personalized guidance and encouragement.

  • Every part of our program is built on research-based strategies proven to help kids thrive. We use:

    • Positive reinforcement

    • Structured social-emotional learning

    • Skill-building activities that balance fun + growth
