“My son looks forward to this camp every year… He also loves connecting with other peers and interacting with them - he would smile and laugh when I would mention their names. I was so impressed with the quality of care and the experience the counsellors at the camp offered. They really understand Autism and how to keep individuals focused, calm and recognize quickly signs that my son may need quiet time or a break from the excitement… My son is primarily non-verbal and very rarely able to share with me about his day or what happened. It was amazing to see an increase in his communication - he enjoyed the camp so much that I would be able to engage in a little conversation with him… This is my son's favourite camp of the summer and because of his excitement and energy when it comes to his week at camp - it's mine too!”
