Finding a camp is like choosing a school. Kids benefit most from a camp they can grow with.

Camp Alsing is a summer camp that allows children with high-functioning autism and social communication challenges to enjoy a real Maine summer camp experience.

Phone calls, written communications and in-person meetings are part of camp outreach.

Whether you’re an athlete looking to seriously improve your skills or a person interested in something fun to do with friends, summer camps can meet your needs.

“It’s hugely valuable for [kids] to have opportunities to identify what it feels like to be scared, and persevere and move forward.”

‘Sharing a good meal with friends,’ is among the essentials.

But consider: ‘Just because you are leaving camp, camp isn’t leaving you.’
