This is a recreational based program for children with ASD who have a social worker with the Kamloops CYSN office. The program is offered to children 5 to 18 years of age. Each week, small groups will be determined based on child’s age, common goal areas and required staffing ratio. The staff is experienced in working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Language, social, sensory and behavioural issues will be considered when developing the program. Activities include hiking, swimming, day trips, crafts, and cooking. Language and behavioural issues are addressed.
The summer program will operate from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., four days a week for seven weeks in July and August. The cost of the Summer Program is $425.00 per week. If eligible, Autism Funding can be used for this camp for children six years of age and up.
Once enrollment opens, it is on a first-come / first-serve basis. We are unable to sign children up prior to the official registration date. Due to the limited number of spots and high demand, each child can attend a maximum of three weeks. When registering you must give your top three weeks.
