p.o.w.e.r. camp

- PEER OUTREACH WITH EXTRAORDINARY RESULTS -
Based at YMCA Camp Copneconic in Fenton, P.O.W.E.R. Camp is a summer day camp exclusively tailored to those with Autism Spectrum Disorder. In 2026, we will celebrate our 15th year! P.O.WE.R. Camp was developed to help expand the capabilities, confidence, and social experiences of youth with autism. The program includes "peer buddies" who are typically developing children aged 10-15 who serve as a friend and mentor to campers with autism. Led by adults with specialized ASD training and supported by "junior counselors," the camp encourages fun, learning and social interaction in a supportive and loving setting.

DATES FOR SUMMER 2026 ARE MONDAY, JULY 13TH - THURSDAY, JULY 16TH!
