About the Camp
Camp Dream. Speak. Live. is a one-week, evidence-based program for children who stutter offered annually in multiple locations nationally and internationally based on the Blank Center CARE Model™ (Communication, Advocacy, Resiliency, Education [CARE]).
Through participation in Camp Dream. Speak. Live., children engage in theory- and data-driven activities thoughtfully designed and proven to target the following goals:
- increase their positive perception of their ability to establish peer-to-peer relationships,
- improve their communication competence and how they feel about their ability to communicate,
- enhance their self-compassion, resiliency, self-advocacy, and leadership skills, and
- lessen the influence of stuttering on their overall quality of life.
In sum, participation in Camp Dream. Speak. Live., supported by two decades of research, empowers children to stutter openly, speak confidently, communicate effectively, and advocate meaningfully such that the overall quality of their lives and their aspirations are not defined or limited by whether or not they stutter when they speak. Every child who participates learns that what they have to say is important and never let stuttering stop them from pursuing their dreams, speaking from their hearts, and living their lives to the fullest.
Hence, the name “Camp Dream. Speak. Live.”
The Arthur. M. Blank Center for Stuttering Education and Research, in partnership with the University of Delaware, is excited to announce our launch of the first annual Camp Dream. Speak. Live. for children and teens who stutter in Newark, Delaware, in 2024!
