Welcome Professionals

In addition to the efforts of home and school, the majority of our campers benefit from the services of physicians, psychologists, tutors, and other involved professionals. Camp Buckskin is also a resource to help parents help their children. As such, we believe it is very important that professionals have an understanding of our program. By working together we can better help our parents give their children the best opportunity to grow up to be happy and successful people.

Our campers present a variety of needs that require change in order to reach that ‘happy and successful’ destination. We believe that there is no "one size fits all" approach that will address the needs these young people struggle with.

For example, many of our campers benefit from medication. But there are a number of valid options, quicker vs. longer acting stimulants, perhaps anti-anxiety or other type of medication either alone or in combination.

Some of our campers quality of life is improved by counseling, but again there is a variety of accepted methods, whether individual or group, talk, play, biofeedback or another form of therapy.

Similarly tutoring, whether it’s based on the Orton-Gilligham method, Whole Language, Lindamood-Bell, Wilson, or another technique has helped many of our campers. Parents need to find out what works best for their child. As such, it is vital to clearly communicate our philosophy and approach, to best ensure that camp will be the "right fit" and produce the desired results.

As professionals too, we know how much parents value our opinions and advice. We do our best to answer questions about school placements or professional services. Some parents may ask you what you think about our program. We want you to know who we are, what we do, and how we can help. We believe there is value in being a resource for our parents in addition to our efforts at camp. So, please feel comfortable in contacting us and we look forward to visiting with you.
