CAMP AFTER CAMP

During the interval between the end of camp and school, families are busy getting their children ready for the new school year. The extra attention required by the child with special needs is stressful for parents, and for siblings who may need more of their parents’ focus at this time. The Camp After Camp Program makes a significant difference to the families and eases the transition home for the children.

Year Round Programs

Support Groups Seminars & Events

Menucha Services offers support groups, seminars, informative resource sessions and social networking events for families away from the stress-filled home environment. Menucha Services arranges entertainment-filled cruises and night events for parents of children with special needs, where they can meet, share experiences, and provide each other with support and friendship.

Menucha’s Weekend Respite Program gives the families a desperately needed breather while their child receives a special weekend filled with fun and everything they love. This enables parents to focus on the other family members and recharge their energy, promoting a healthier family life.
