Camelot of Kansas

Riverside Academy

Camelot of Kansas is located in the Riverside District of Wichita on seven acres of gorgeous tree filled land along the banks of the Arkansas River. Our residents benefit greatly from the center's close proximity to the Botanical Gardens, historical and recreational centers, Native American institutions and art museums.

Camelot of Kansas is a residential treatment center providing psychiatric treatment for boys and girls, ages 11 to 18. We serve Child in Need of Care (CINC), Juvenile Justice Authority (JJA), and non-custody residents with a variety of mental health disorders including behavioral disorders and/or drug or alcohol dependence or abuse.
