Camp Imagination
GCM always strives for inclusion, so we are particularly proud to offer Neurodiversity-Affirming weeks at Camp Imagination! Each summer, select weeks of camp feature additional specially trained staff, a quiet space for campers who need a break, and an optional orientation the week prior, so campers will know exactly what to expect!
