  • A camp for neurodiverse children and teens

    EACS offers summer camps for autistic and neurodiverse teens. The camps focus on building social connections, being authentically yourself and having fun with other neurodiverse peers.

  • Therapeutic support

    All staff at EACS are trained in DIR Floortime and use this approach to support campers during their time with us. DIR Floortime focuses on the developmental profile of the child as well as their individual differences and how these areas impact the child’s daily life.

  • Small group size

    We offer small camp sizes with a high therapist to child ratio. This structure is to support the campers developmental needs and to reduce the potential anxiety and pressure of being in a large group. Smaller group size allows the therapists to gain deeper understanding of the child’s needs and build a trusting relationship.

  • Fostering social connections

    One of the main focuses of EACS summer camps is fostering social connections around shared interests, on the campers terms. We welcome and celebrate the sharing of special interests to build relationships. Our camps offer a space for neurodiverse children to take off “the mask” (if masking is a new term to you, please see the FAQ page) and be themselves.

  • Activities centered on shared interests of the campers

    Connecting around shared interests can lead to deeper social connections and it is something EACS encourages. We provide activities and games geared towards what the campers are most interested in to foster friendships and connections.

  • Who is a Fit For EACS Summer Camp

    Children attending our camp should be able to engage in back and forth communication (AAC or non verbal communication counts!)

    Participants should be able to navigate difficult interactions without physical aggression or eloping.

    We will be walking to local parks and throughout the commercial district. Participants should be able to walk 3/4 of a mile as well as navigate stairs.

    Participants should have basic community safety skills such as not running into the road or eloping.
