Autism Spectrum Camp

There are many types of camps out there and they have excellent programs and tend to serve either a very broad range or small niche. Silver Lake and her sister Forest Education Camps have been providing youth environmental education since 1960 and has always seemed to serve a broad range with a niche program. As we move ahead we want to be serving as much of the youth campers in BC as possible, this camp is an effort to do that and serve a sector that does not have many choices.

We will be focusing on integrated camping programs. SLFES will be growing our paid and volunteer staff for these camps as we grow the camps themselves, and are partnering with Autism Associations and have the pleasure of working with professionals in this field that focus on delivery of programs and others on staff training.

The intent with these programs is to introduce your child to the wonders of the natural world and while developing the confidence, and skills they need to grow in a camp environment.

While we will have staff supervision, and a number of volunteers to help at these camps, it is a camp for children on the autism spectrum that are able to communicate verbally and are aware of the safety implications of staying with the group within the boundaries of camp. If your child is unable to adhere to the safety rules of camp we will not be able to accommodate them at this time.
