Frequently Asked Questions

What is the age range for the camp program?

Our camp is designed for children aged 4-12. We group campers based on age and developmental level to ensure they receive the most appropriate activities and support.

How is the camp program tailored for children with special needs?

We focus on creating a sensory-friendly, structured environment with activities designed for neurodivergent children and those with physical or developmental challenges. Our staff includes trained therapists and coaches who use adaptive techniques, allowing each child to participate at their own pace.

Will my child receive one-on-one support?

Although our camps are well staffed, we do not provide 1:1 support in our camp programs. However, we do maintain small group sizes to ensure each child receives personalized attention. If your child requires 1:1 support, outside accommodations may be considered. Please contact us to discuss your child’s needs.

How do you ensure safety for children with diverse needs?

Safety is our top priority. We provide a sensory-friendly space with equipment designed for children with special needs, including soft surfaces, modified gymnastics equipment, and sensory calming areas. Our staff is trained in behavior management and first aid, and we collaborate with parents to understand each child’s unique safety needs.

How do you handle behavioral challenges?

Our team is experienced in working with neurodivergent children and children with developmental challenges. We use positive reinforcement and behavior management techniques to support campers and your child up for success. If your child requires additional support, our team will work with you to discuss options and strategies.

What should my child bring to camp?

Campers should wear comfortable clothing suitable for gymnastics and play, a water bottle, nut free snack and any necessary or specific sensory aids (such as noise-canceling headphones or comfort toy). We will provide all other equipment and materials for activities.

Can my child participate if they have never done gymnastics or therapy before?

Absolutely! Our camps are beginner-friendly, and no prior experience in gymnastics or therapy is required. We tailor activities to the child’s abilities, ensuring a supportive and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Can parents stay and observe?

We prefer families to drop their child off at the beginning of each day. We request this for all families for the purpose of limiting outside distractions & encouraging independence so children can fully immerse themselves in the camp experience. We provide daily updates on each child’s progress and activities. You can also remotely view our gym times during camp by using our Spot TV complementary service.

What is your camp cancellation policy?

Payment in full is due at the time of enrollment in order to reserve your camp spot. Spectra does not issue refunds for any reason. Should an emergency arise, families are offered a partial tuition credit for future use.

Hear What Our Families Are Saying About Spectra

testimonials

“The crew here is very welcoming and supportive. I have two boys that attend, one neurotypical and one ADHD, and they both absolutely LOVE coming to Spectra. It’s so wonderful to have a place they can find success, learn coping skills, and have the best time with all of their new friends! We are very thankful for Spectra :) “

Corey

“We are so glad we found Spectra Gymnastics and their array of services. The instructors are attentive and friendly. My daughter loves going to Fostering Friendships and we’ve booked birthday parties as well.”

Olivia

“SO much love for Spectra. My autistic 4 yo attended their Kinder Prep program and absolutely loved it. He had never been to a childcare setting before and the transition was seamless. Staff are fun and friendly with excellent communication to parents. It was so nice to see my kiddo smiling before and after class. He has grown so much in this program and I feel confident in his ability to transition to a larger class size and setting in the future. Thank you, Spectra :) “

Sarah

“We have been going to Spectra for several years, we have participated in several of their classes, and have had several birthday parties there as well. We love Karissa and know that she is very selective about her staff. We trust she makes good decisions based on our kids’ needs and abilities. We ALWAYS recommend Spectra to anyone and everyone!”

Jennifer

“This place has great classes with the most amazing staff! The teachers really develop strong bonds with these kids and have a lot of knowledge about all kinds of special needs. Our son is not on the spectrum, but has other special needs which the staff has been incredible dealing with. Our son has LOVED his experience here! Highly recommended!”

Becky

“My son had a GREAT time at his first session! He is extremely high energy, impulsive, and easily distracted, but after his first class, he sat on our couch camly with us for an hour which is pretty much the first time he has ever done that! Usually our furniture turns into the gymnastics room and we can't get him to pay attention to anything we are saying. We can't wait to come back next week!”

Christina

"I've had the opportunity to collaborate with Ally for more than a month now, and I am truly grateful for their invaluable assistance in enhancing my child's language processing skills. Ally's abundant patience and extensive knowledge have made a significant impact on my daughter's language skills. They consistently addresses any questions we may have.

The parent counseling sessions with Ally are exceptionally enlightening, filled with practical examples that we can apply at home. Ally seamlessly integrates movement with speech, making it significantly easier for my daughter to concentrate and actively participate. My daughter thoroughly enjoys her sessions with Ally and eagerly looks forward to each one. The progress in her speech has been remarkable.

For anyone seeking speech therapy services for their children, we wholeheartedly recommend Ally based on our positive experience.”
