2026 Abilities First Summer Camps

A fun and structured Summer Camp experience for all children ages 3-9, designed to be inclusive for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and differing abilities. The application process will include an in-person evaluation to assess developmental levels and support needs.
Pediatric Therapies available on-site during camp.  

The weeks will be filled with fun activities, engaging experiences and hands on opportunities for learning at age and developmentally appropriate levels.  The classroom provides continuity of routines for children already attending a school program during the school year and an initial introduction to a structured school environment for those not currently enrolled in a program. The focus will be on maintaining and developing constructive and imaginary play, following a visual schedule, and addressing sensory needs, peer interaction, social skills, positive behaviors, communication and motor skills, all while enjoying many fun summertime activities. The teachers will incorporate their knowledge of therapeutic and behavioral learning.
