Re: Any experience with JCC North Miami Summer camp Sol Tap...

[Guest guest]

Just an FYI, this camp is noisy! From the second you pull up in the car pool

lane at morning drop off there is music blasting in the sound system and kids

running around all over the place. I have not had any personal experience

putting my child in the special needs camp but i used to attend Camp Sol Taplin

for MANY years as a camper myself. While the special needs programming is

getting a little better, it is definitely not where it should be. I am a huge

advocate of inclusion for our campers and children but it needs to be done

correctly. I have heard that the shadows are not well trained at all and they

will not help your child integrate in with the typical kids. If your child wants

to do nothing all day, thats what they will do. The shadows truthfully serve as

a babysitter. Just wanted to give you the heads up about the noise in case your

child gets stimulated or overwhelmed easily as it can be very chaotic.
