Harbor Haven is a 7 week co-ed summer program for 3-15 year olds with mild to moderate special needs. We are located in West Orange, New Jersey in a beautiful private school setting and in Marlboro, New Jersey in a beautiful summer camp setting. Our programs are dedicated to the concept that all children benefit from the magic of summer camp. We have combined the most important elements of traditional day camping with structured support, helping our youngsters to maintain and expand social, educational and communication skills. We provide continuous opportunities for each child to grow, explore, develop new skills and form friendships, all within a safe, nurturing and accepting environment. Harbor Haven serves as a bridge between one school year and the next, offering a valuable way to prevent regression in children with learning issues.
