Can you tell me more about this? She is in a mainstream school and does not see herself as special needs, which is why a Camp Kaylie-type arrangement would be ideal. Alternatively, I think she might do okay in a very small, warm camp with someone keeping an extra eye out for her.

So maybe it isn’t the place for her. It is a special needs camp, camp kesher, and is very clearly that, but at the same time is for people who are higher functioning and independent. It is the most independent bunk inside the special needs camp (the other bunks are bunks if kids with Down syndrome but this bunk is more separate and for kids with what used to be known as aspergers, adhd/ anxiety, social skills issues, etc.). However, if she isn’t aware that she has special needs it might be hard for her to adjust to this kind of shift. Not sure— you know your daughter best!
