Camps for Kids & Teens Who Stutter

Camps and immersive programs give young people who stutter something hard to find anywhere else: a place where stuttering is completely normal. Here is what each one is and who it is for.

You belong here.

Camp SAY

Kids and teens who stutter
Format
Overnight summer camp, run by SAY: The Stuttering Association for the Young

Community, confidence and self-expression through arts, sports and camp life
What makes it different
