Campers are able to have an enjoyable time at dyslexia camps without having to worry about others' perception of academic problems. Each camp may have a different theme each year, explored through writing and art projects. Campers are surrounded by their peers and the environment builds self-confidence and self-esteem. For example, many students may need a different teaching method to help them learn better. A supportive family and a strong self-image are important to the individual's ability to overcome dyslexia and summer camp can help build on other support.

Advantages of camps specialised for dyslexia
The camper-to-counselor ratio at specialised dyslexia camps allows for better learning. The different types of instructional strategies are greatly beneficial to campers. Dyslexia camps also offer an education program based upon children's needs as determined by input from parents, their schools and camp counselors. Dyslexia camps help kids with this learning disability build self-esteem, independence and academic success. Campers at dyslexia camps have a golden opportunity to form friendships, be a part of adventures and gain good academic habits. In addition, they also benefit from academic preparation for the school year ahead.

While dealing with children with dyslexia or other learning difficulties, dyslexia camps can help identify the challenges and strengths of the children and provide what they need to overcome areas of difficulty.
