SOAR ADHD Each of our programs promotes friendships, increase self-confidence, and develop life skills.

SOAR is a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation serving youth and young adults with ADHD and other learning challenges through SOAR’s outdoor adventure camp programs, GAP year program, and community-based services. SOAR is a summer camp and GAP year program dedicated to providing experiential education, life skills development and adventure programs to those diagnosed with learning and attention issues. Created in 1977 by an adult with learning disabilities, SOAR provides fun and successful experiences so that participants may gain greater awareness of their own strengths and improve self-esteem and confidence. Our programs offer adventure activities, for beginners and beyond, located across the country’s most scenic places. These incredible locations include the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, the sunny Florida Keys and wild and wonderful Wyoming. Campers participate in exciting adventure activities such as rock climbing, horseback riding, SCUBA diving, llama treks, whitewater rafting, surfing, and much more! SOAR staff and instructors provide a community where campers and participants are celebrated for their gifts, where they come to make friends, and where they have the freedom to be themselves. Everything we do at SOAR is based upon helping campers and participants experience success and providing them with the tools and strategies to continue building upon that success. They will develop self-confidence, life skills, and build friendships while experiencing a variety of exciting adventures.
