👚 ONLY 2 WEEKS LEFT TO BUY MERCH AND SUPPORT OUR MISSION! 👚

Our ROOT FOR EACH OTHER Campaign will close at the end of November so grab some sweet merch before it's too late!

When you purchase one of these items, you spread the word of "rooting" for one another. We believe such encouragement helps wellness, love, and self-worth grow. And it seems it is needed more than ever, especially with the autistic youth we are serving.

Today is World Kindness Day. When a Camp Encourage session or one of our Camp Family Events come to a close, it isn't unusual for someone to express how they don't want it to end. We create a space where love and kindness is abundant. A judgment free, accepting space. And, unfortunately, many know that the real world isn't always as generous to our hearts.

But each of us can change that by sprinkling the kindness found at camp to everyone we encounter. And today is JUST the day to do that! Find ways to spread camp love and kindness TODAY!
