About the program
Building Confidence with Creativity
Camp SAY: Across the USA - Memphis is a dynamic day camp created in partnership with SAY: The Stuttering Association for the Young. It offers an exciting, supportive environment focusing on connection, collaboration, and fun for kids and teens who stutter, ages 8-18.
Camp Activities
Camp SAY: Across the USA - Memphis offers a wide variety of games and activities that encourage community, creativity, and teamwork.
Under the guidance of the Camp SAY leadership staff and the Orpheum’s teaching artists, campers work together in small groups to create original artistic pieces - short plays, comedy skits, poems, songs, dances, visual art - and share them with the larger group (each child can choose whether or not they wish to participate in this final share). It’s truly a time of celebration and empowerment, where everyone has as much time as they need to speak and express themselves fully!
Staff and Support
Camp SAY offers an exceptional staff-to-camper ratio, with counselors who are experts at working with young people who stutter.
Camp SAY also offers an optional parent education workshop and support group, where parents can learn more about stuttering, share their experiences, and meet other parents of kids and teens who stutter.
Each camper receives a free camp T-shirt, and camp includes all programming supplies, plus breakfast and lunch daily.
