For parents of children who stutter, finding a safe haven in which their kids can relax, be themselves and thrive is often one of the most heartbreaking challenges they face. Schools are often ill-equipped to support their children, and summer camp has never felt like a viable option. Until now.

Being a teenager can be one of the most wonderfully miserable times in a person's life. Kids are mean, school is hard, parents just don't understand.

Imagine being the kid not picked to be on the baseball team, not asked to dance, shunned as being different, simply because it takes you a bit longer than others to get a sentence out. For millions of kids who stutter, summertime offers no reprieve from the shame they feel interacting with others.
