The article examines and evaluates the impact of inclusive camps on the social adaptation of children with disabilities. It concludes that an inclusive camp is an effective tool for the social adaptation of children with disabilities, provided there is high-quality pedagogical support. The study reveals a phenomenon of discrepancy between the subjective satisfaction of children with disabilities and the objective indicators of their engagement, establishes a specific hierarchy of socialization methods, clarifies the structure of psychological barriers in the context of an inclusive camp session, and empirically confirms the necessity of transitioning from general inclusive programs to differentiated ones.
