Company Profile
Camp SAY
Company Overview
Camp SAY is an ACA-Accredited, 2-week, sleep-away summer camp for young people who stutter, along with their family members and friends who don’t, ages 8-18. Camp SAY combines a high-quality, traditional camp experience with specialized programs and activities that help kids and teens who stutter develop confidence and independence, improve communication skills, and form important lifelong friendships.
Campers are welcomed by a super-friendly staff, many of whom also stutter, and immediately see that Camp SAY is a very special place of acceptance, support, and encouragement. Camp SAY is a life-changing summer camp where young people who stutter are free to have fun and stutter as openly as they choose – and everyone ALWAYS gets as much time as they need to speak!
Company History
We established Camp SAY in 2008, with the goal of providing innovative programming and a community of acceptance and support for children who stutter, from across the U.S. and beyond. Camp enrollment has continued to increase since that first year, with approximately 160 campers now joining us annually.
We are honored that George Springer, 2017 World Series MVP and All-Star Professional Baseball Player, is our National Camp SAY spokesperson. Learn more about George Springer.
We have welcomed other celebrity friends to Camp SAY, including renowned chef & restaurateur Marc Vetri, NBA Player Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, and actors Lauren Ambrose and Jesse L. Martin. Luminaries in the field of education and speech have also visited Camp SAY, including Lee Caggiano, MA CCC-SLP; Edward Conture, PhD, Eric Jackson MS, CCC-SLP, Joseph F. Klein, PhD, CCC-SLP, Peter Reitzes, MA CCC-SLP, and Patricia Zebrowski, PhD. Our special guests have hosted special workshops, Q&A sessions, and other inspiring activities with campers.
