Discover Summer Day Camp
for Youth with Autism
2024 Summer Camp Updates
In past years, Discover Summer Camp has run two 3-week camps. This year to accommodate different needs, we will have one 4-week camp and two mini camps.
The two camp groups allow for low counselor-to-camper ratios. The 3-week Discover Summer Camp has a staff to camper ratio of 1 staff to 2 campers. If campers need a 1:1 ratio, we require outside support by a PCA.
Mini camp sessions have a ratio of 1:1 or 2:1. Please contact us directly for more information about Discover Mini Camps.
