What is SCAMP? SCAMP is a 5-week summer program that seeks to provide an exciting and therapeutic summer program for individuals with disablitites ages 3-26 in the Metro Detroit area. Bloomfield SCAMP was founded in 1967 and was the first summer camp in our area to provide a summer program for indivduals with disablities. During the early years, SCAMP served as many as 400 campers and has touched the lives of many in our area. In the early 1970s we worked with Clarkston to help start their SCAMP. In the past 10 years other programs have started and we are excited that more individuals are being served in their home school or with us.

Within the SCAMP program - there are three self-contained programs.
Ages 3-4 Speech & Language Delay program: These children have been labeled speech delayed and are being serviced under this label in an IEP. Partipants in this group are functioning close to age level and no major cognitive delays are present.
Ages 3-12 D or HH program. Children in this group are serviced in a deaf or hard of hearing program during the school year. Center based children enroll here. This group requires a minimum enrollment and is subject to cancellation. This group may be broken into two classes to better meet the needs of the children in this class based on age or ability as deemed appropriate. Children must be fluent at sign or use it as their primary mode of communication to be enrolled in this group. Brenda Bujold, SCAMP D/HH Supervisor and classroom instructor will assist with placements.
Ages 13-26 Physically Impaired program. This classroom is designed around the student who is wheelchair bound with mild to moderate cognitive functioning. Many participants attend Farmington Public Schools center based program at Warner Middle School or Harrison High School. Any individual who is wheelchair bound is free to register in this special class. This class has additional staff to meet individual camper’s needs.
With a strong dedication to offer the best summer programming for your child, SCAMP implements a weekly academic theme each summer. SCAMPers will be enjoying many structured daily activities within their classroom. Activities will not only teach new concepts, but reinforce many already learned facts and hopefully spark interest in learning.
