Predictors of Experiences and Attitudes at a Summer Camp for Children and Adolescents With Tourette Syndrome

The current study aimed to examine factors predicting camp experiences and attitudes towards having Tourette syndrome (TS). Twenty-eight campers with TS and their caregivers completed measures before and after camp. Higher depressive symptoms before camp significantly predicted poorer camp experiences and attitudes towards having TS at the end of camp. Neither externalizing symptoms nor TS symptoms emerged as significant predictors of camp experiences or attitudes towards having TS. Identification and treatment of symptoms related to depression may benefit children with TS who attend camp.
