"Alisa Anderson, the head of the Smugglers' Notch Adaptive Program, was wonderful. She was so helpful, really flexible with letting our daughter ease into the program... She also was so friendly and welcoming to our whole family and gave us some great ideas for fun things to do while we were at the resort. Also, the one-one-one staff person who worked with my daughter was lovely. Our daughter gave her a big smile when we saw her each morning and a big hug goodbye each afternoon. We were very happy with the adaptive program and felt that our daughter was in great hands."
We invite you to read "12 reasons why Smugglers' Notch is special needs family vacation heaven," published in September 2012 on Love That Max, "a blog about kids with special needs who kick butt"!
We also offer an inclusion program in our daily children's programs. This gives a child with a disability the opportunity to socialize with peers while still maintaining the support he or she needs through our adaptive program.
NEW this season we are offering private swim lessons with Swim Whisperers trained instructors. This is a technique used in teaching adaptive swim lessons. We offer ˝ hour swim lessons, two times a day, Monday through Friday.
A special Autism Mountain Camp is offered selected weeks during Summer programming. Special programming such as sailing on Lake Champlain with Vermont Adaptive and horseback riding is also available. Please call or email for details.
