Autism Adventure Camp

Prospective Pals (people with level 1 ASD), will be able to stay with a group, or able to rejoin after taking a break, or when prompted by the camp facilitators. They will be able to follow 1 to 2-step instructions, follow prompting and may have a basic knowledge of coping skills. They may be able to accept feedback without becoming physically aggressive with themselves, others or property. Pals are able to keep their clothes on, toilet themselves and provide their own medication management, albeit with staff supervision. Any additional diagnoses identified by your provider must be listed on the camp application to help us create and provide adequate support.

Prospective Peers (people of neurotypical development), will be outgoing, friendly, patient and capable of empathy for others. They are able to initiate and engage in positive interactions with Pals and set boundaries if needed. Peers are also expected to be able to meet the Pal expectations listed above.

We are out in the community daily, sometimes taking public transportation, and the environment quickly becomes unsafe when children are struggling or running away. If your child tends to get aggressive or run away when struggling, this camp will not be a good place for them. As needed follow-ups and discussions may take place between camp directors and families to create reasonable accommodations. In the event the situation becomes unsafe for the individual or the whole camp community, your child may be asked to leave camp and a refund will be provided for any unattended full weeks.
