The Tourette Syndrome Camp USA, founded in 1994, is a residential camping program designed for girls and boys ages 8 - 16+ whose primary diagnosis is TS and OCD and to a lesser degree, ADD/ADHD. The goal of the camp is to allow children with TS/OCD an opportunity to meet other children, share similar experiences and coping mechanisms in a fun, safe and positive environment
