Camp Ausome's mission is to provide a safe space for children with autism ages 6-11, to engage in summer camp activities with professional staff and volunteers familiar with autism. The vision is to give children the opportunity to play safely with a compassionate staff that is aware of their abilities and needs. We want to give the children support in learning social skills and participating in activities. Camp activities would include free play, sports, music therapy, yoga, games and crafts. The activities will encourage participation at any skill level. The goal is to be safe and have fun!
