Launch Pad is a program that allows students with developmental disabilities, neurodivergences, and sensory challenges to participate in camp and be a part of the camp community while having their unique needs met. Space is limited and launchpad-specific scholarships are available.

About

We can support your camper in our one-week theatre camps at all locations. We may be able to support your camper in our Showcases, Intensives, and Performance Academies.

Please contact us before registering to discuss your child’s unique needs. We can be reached at summercamp@cincyplay.com.  

Pre-Camp Preparation

We will work with families and campers individually to ensure a positive and supportive environment. Additional resources to prepare your camper for camp are available upon request and include:

  • Social story pre-camp packet
  • Pre-camp meet-and-greet with staff.

Daily Support

Our work with families and campers continues during camp. Additional daily resources available include:

  • A Family Coordinator who will work with Launch Pad families to assess what accommodations each child needs.
  • Training for all camp counselors and instructors in effective communication strategies for students with developmental disabilities, neurodivergences, and sensory challenges.
  • Social narrative signs in all indoor camp spaces.
  • Comfort items such as noise-canceling headphones, fidgets, weighted blankets, etc. will be made available (as needed).
  • Accommodation of personal comfort items.
  • A quiet space available (as needed).
  • Personal, pocket-sized daily schedules (available upon request).
  • Detailed concrete schedules (available upon request).

Please note: We are not able to administer medication, provide bathroom assistance, or provide personal, one-on-one aides. We are glad to work with campers who bring their own one-on-one aides.
