A Note From Us:
We are very excited to provide this opportunity for kids with HFA and AS to attend an overnight camping experience. We believe that all kids should have access to the wonderful experiences of childhood, including summer camp. We know that these experiences can be stressful for children and their families. We will do our best to make sure all of our campers and their families have all the support they need to make this a unforgettable experience!
