About Brian Lux

Camp Sequoia is an overnight summer camp for boys 7-17 to experience social skills success in a dynamic and nurturing environment. Many of our campers are diagnosed with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Located on the beautiful campus of The Perkiomen School in Pennsburg, Pennsylvania (1 hour northwest of Philadelphia) our innovative program integrates building Frustration Tolerance with Michelle Garcia Winner's Social Thinking® framework to help campers develop their social thinking skills through a FUN active, traditional camp program. We offer a transitional program for high school students based on the big island of Hawaii as well and this program empowers our kids to both expand their cultural competence and practice in vivo the skills that they will need to live once they leave the nest after high school. Camp Sequoia is designed for children and teenagers with ADHD and other similar diagnoses who do not need the level of support offered at special needs overnight camps yet need a different experience than a traditional overnight camp can offer. Our 2:5 staffing ratio allows our campers to have fun and grow in a safe and supportive camp experience. The majority of our campers are diagnosed with ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). Our camper population also includes boys who present with social anxiety, learning differences which effect social skills development or may not have a formal diagnosis yet present with social learning needs.
