Designed for People with ASD

We offer a unique program specifically designed for autistic people:

  • visually structured programming,

  • 1:1 and 1:2 positive support from trained staff during daytime hours, and we have 3 overnight staff (and 2 backup staff) from the hours of 8:30pm to 8 am.

  • individualized supports based on information from caregivers

  

Camper Requirements

  1. A diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder or a related communication disorder.

  2. Manageable behavior and health care needs, to the level of the staff's training.

  3. Guardians must live, be vacationing, or have an emergency contact within 8 hours of camp.

Staffing

​We understand that many people with autism prefer routines and predictability in their daily life, and that a summer camp program can be a difficult adjustment. We provide 1:1 or 1:2 support for all campers to help make the transition to camp easier and to meet each camper where they are. 

  

Our staff are trained to use visual structure (schedules, activity systems, clear definition of space and boundaries) as a strategy to make expectations clearer and facilitate an easier adjustment to new routines. We try to determine each person's strengths and needs using information gathered from parents, caregivers, and teachers; then we develop a plan for implementing visually structured techniques based on that information. 

  

Many of our staff are college students pursuing degrees in fields such as special education, psychology, recreation therapy, social work, and occupational therapy.  Some of our staff come to us already having some experience working with people that have autism and/or other disabilities.

Activities 
Campers enjoy:

  • song time,

  • arts and crafts,

  • hiking,

  • creek games,

  • swimming,

  • outdoor activities,

  • music and motion,

  • daily special events, and

  • canoeing and lake play at Camp Rockmont.

All activities are adapted so that campers will understand expectations and be able to participate as independently as possible.

 

Rest and Night Time
At least 3 staff are on duty in the cabin during rest time and at night with two additional staff on call.

* These weeks are designed to support autistic campers that can be safely supervised in pairs, rather than 1:1. Generally, this means that campers :​​

​

  • require minimal assistance with activities of daily living (like bathing or using the bathroom)

  • do not have aggressive behaviors towards themselves or others

  • can be somewhat flexible with their daily schedule and routines

  • able to follow verbal, written, or visual prompts easily

  • tolerate or enjoy participating in small group activities

  • can be safely supervised in pairs, do not run away from caregivers
