Summer Day Camps

NISRA camps are a great place to experience games, storytelling, sports, arts & crafts, singing, skits, and water fun this summer. Our camps have helped children grow in self-esteem, make friends, experience new places, learn games and songs, and develop physical skills. NISRA camps are not an extension of the special education curriculum, however many children retain concepts from the school year through the summer months. 

The 2025 Summer Day Camp season will run Monday, June 16 – Thursday, July 31 and will be offered in 2 sessions.
