Interest-based summer camps for Autistic teens ages 13 to 17. Teens must be motivated and interested in the camp activities.
Imagination, physical activity, skill development, and social interaction are essential components of summer camp at the Centre. Summer camps are full of adventure and new things to learn every day. Teens have the opportunity to discover new interests and dive into the things they already love while building essential skills and making new friends.
