my daughter was there for the entire stay and we had a positive experience. Her care allowed me to see what she was capable of independently. Holly was a wonderful mediator and allowed us to see how our family dynamic was center to my daughters healing process. its a journey and camp worth is a good place to figure out whats the next step for your child while they provide a safe place with caring people.

I can not say enough good things about this place They have been nothing but super helpful and the staff have all been amazing from the admissions nurses therapist doctors intake and discharge. My daughter went in for severe depression anxiety suicidal thoughts and high functioning autism. She has learned lots of coping skills countless hours of counseling individual group and family. Holly is a top notch therapist and we will miss her so much. She is amazing at her job. The negative reviews below are not truthful. You as a parent have to be involved in the care of your children. It takes a village to help care for a child in need. We take full responsibility in helping with the recovery process and can not thank everyone there enough for the support love compassion and caring hearts. THANK YOU CAMP WORTH On the road to getting my teenager back to being healthy.

If I could give this place a zero I would. You bring your child here almost 50k for as many days and they spend 30min-hr with a therapist and do god knows what the rest of the day. I know whats its not its not helping with coping skills its not a place where your child will learn from compassionate caregiverstheres no protection theres few skilled people here qualified to handle the types of children coming through here. If youre looking for the most expensive babysitter who will regulate the time you have with your child and offer zero growth for them then THIS is the place for you. If youre looking for help this isnt where you find it. Its just another ploy to funnel money into a broken system failing our children who need the most. Glorified expensive terrible babysitters. Go somewhere else Honestly have no idea how they have the rating they do. Sad.

Website and all social media is misleading. They do not accept children with autism who have limited communication capabilities. They only accept a certain developmental level of children on the spectrum. Please as a parent save yourself the hope of thinking there is help and the frustration of hearing yet another no sorry we can not help Im sure they can help someone but not everyone on the spectrum. They should advertise can not assist nonverbal children as well as everything else including false hope they promote.

Frequently Asked Questions
Autism-friendly camps come in all shapes and sizes, making it easier for you to find the one that best suits your needs. An autism-friendly camp may come in the form of a day camp, meaning you drop your child off in the morning and pick them up later that afternoon, or as an overnight camp. The camp programs can range in length from a few days to a few weeks. The campers that attend autism-friendly camps may be autistic only or a mixture of neurotypical and neurodivergent kids. When it comes to support for your child, some camps offer 1:1 support while others have a higher camper-to-counselor ratio.
When choosing the perfect camp for your child there are five key things you should keep in mind:
Interests: What does your child like to do? A sports camp probably wouldn’t be a good fit for your little bookworm. Finding the right summer camp that sparks your child’s excitement will aid in transitioning to and from camp, while also ensuring they enjoy their experience.
Professional Support: How much support does your child need? A traveling camp may not be best for your child who tends to elope. Some camps offer 1:1 support for your child, while others may have a higher camper-to-counselor ratio. When looking for a camp, pay close attention to those ratios to ensure there is adequate support for your child’s unique needs.
Specializations: Does the camp specialize in a specific area? If your child is nonverbal and the camp has excellent experience working with nonverbal children, it may be the perfect fit!
Responsiveness and Accommodations: Pay special attention to camps that meet with you one-on-one either by phone, video chat, or in person, to mark out a personalized support plan for your child. You can relax knowing they’re on top of things and making sure your child is properly supported. Don’t be afraid to ask tons of questions —a great camp will welcome them!
Location and Commitment: Not many people like a long commute. You know your child’s comfort level better than anyone else, so you’ll know what’s best for them, whether it’s a half-day camp, a full day, or an overnight experience.
Here are just a few of the benefits of summer camp for autistic children:
Fostering Social Skills: Summer camp is an excellent opportunity for your child to learn about different social scenarios they may face as they grow up and provide them first-hand experience in how to approach those situations in a safe and supportive environment.
Maintaining Mental Stimulation: With school out during the summer months, a child with autism may be missing out on many of the core structures inherently provided by the classroom and their classmates. No matter what sort of camp you choose or your child’s unique needs and interests, summer camp is a great way to keep your child mentally stimulated and challenged.
Friendship: Depending on the camp size, campers are often divided into smaller groups defined by age, interests, gender, and/or needs. These groups not only give your child the opportunity to closely identify with a group that they belong to but provide them an opportunity to learn how to make friends.
Independence and Confidence: Possibly the greatest benefit of summer camp for your child is the independence they gain. While the counselors are there for support and guidance, kids will have their own responsibilities and choices to make while at camp. Your child will be doing activities independently and actively learning what they like and don’t like. Having these sorts of experiences can boost a child’s self-confidence and nurture your child’s natural curiosity about the world.
