Selective Mutism Intensive Treatment Camp | California

"By far the best decision we have made about her treatment for selective mutism, is to take our daughter to freedom camp. She is like a new person. We highly recommend this camp."

Dear valued community,

After nearly a decade of providing intensive group treatment for children with selective mutism, Freedom Camp will be closing.

Our final session concluded in summer 2024.

The memories of past summers are marked by courage, progress, and breakthroughs. We are deeply honored to have been part of each participant's journey.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to every family, volunteer, and supporter who made this work possible.

Families seeking continued support can find treatment providers and intensive programs through the Selective Mutism Association website (https://www.selectivemutism.org).

Dr.Catherine Eckel is also available to help direct families to treatment resources and can be reached at ceckel@drcatherineeckel.com.

With sincere appreciation,
Freedom Camp

This camp is designed for children 4-12 years of age with selective mutism. It is a wonderful opportunity for children with selective mutism to become more comfortable and increase verbalizations with peers and adults in a supportive setting. All Freedom Camp Counselors will be specifically trained in selective mutism treatment techniques. These fun-filled days will provide campers with opportunities to practice using their brave voices in individual, small group, and whole group settings. The camp will be led by Catherine Eckel, Ph.D. and Dr. Agredano, both of whom specialize in the treatment of selective mutism.
