What is Autism Summer Camp?
Our summer camp for youth on the autism spectrum give children and teens the opportunity to break away from day-to-day living and spend a week in a supportive, exciting, safe adventure program. Skilled facilitators provide youth with incredible opportunities for enjoyment, challenge and growth through adventure and outdoor activities. At the same time, skilled, caring and compassionate support personnel are also onsite and available to assist whenever needed with sensory, communication and/or behavioral support as needed. This is an extraordinary opportunity for youth to relax, enjoy the great outdoors and more importantly, develop awareness, self-efficacy, outdoor knowledge and social skills.
Our programs are created with parents in mind. This is an opportunity for parents to relax, reenergize and rejuvenate while knowing your child or teen is being taken care of, having fun and experiencing new and exciting adventures with incredible camp staff who genuinely care.
