Camp

Camp gives children with AS an opportunity to engage with others who are similar in age and interests to themselves, providing opportunities for adventure and exploration of new and sometimes challenging activities. By structuring the environment with supports that provide for their needs and utilize campers’ strengths and build their skills, camp experiences can positively impact a child.

Our goal is to support existing camps, as well as develop new camps with local partners. The overall goal is to recognize and accommodate the needs and characteristics of children with ASD. Therefore, planning will incorporate the training and adaptations necessary to encourage success of the campers. If you would like OCALI support in staff training for an existing camp or for more information about partner camps for children with ASD, please contact jill_hudson@ocali.org.
