SMILE Summer Camp was developed for children with disabilities out of a need to provide them with a fun, interactive way to further develop their social skills and to help these kids have a better summer - and a better life.
Each year our corporate sponsors come through by donating funds to support SMILE Summer Camp. These funds are then dispersed amongst families. In order to qualify for these funds, families must apply and assistance is based on financial needs. These funds vary from year-to-year since contributions are based on donations received.

Due to the many dietary restrictions in children with Autism, we require that each child bring their own lunch and snack food.

More About Camp
For many youngsters, summer means summer camp with all its many pleasures of childhood: Playing games, making friends, and having plenty of smiles to go around. But hundreds of kids rarely get to make new friends or play the childhood games we take for granted.
The therapeutic program was developed for children with disabilities out of a need to provide them with a fun, interactive way to further develop their social skills and to help these kids have a better summer - and a better life.
Space is limited to only 5 children per week. The ratio will be 5 children with two adults. Reserve your child's place with a $100 deposit that will be credited towards your child's tuition.
