Camp Dream. Speak. Live. is a transformative summer experience for young people who stutter. Led by expert speech-language pathologists and mentors who stutter, the program provides campers with community, support, and opportunities to build confidence through creative self-expression, communication practice, and fun. The camp helps young people who stutter to build friendships, strengthen their voices, and dream big, together.
Developed by the Arthur M. Blank Center for Stuttering Education and Research, this program does not target fluency as an outcome. Instead, the targeted goals include:
- Increasing children’s communication competence
- Improving how they feel about their ability to communicate
- Lessening the influence of stuttering on their overall quality of life
- Increasing their positive perception of their ability to establish peer to peer relationships
- Enhancing their leadership skills.
