Texas State University – Autism Camp

Texas State University autism summer camp provides children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) access to quality summer camp experiences, ensuring their safety and enjoyment while being sensitive to each child’s unique abilities. Trained camp counselors will incorporate therapeutic and educational goals into recreational activities and provide support, nurturing interactions, and instruction. Assisting campers through fun-filled experiences will also encourage development in important communication and socialization skills.

Counselors will assist campers in a daily schedule that provides time for music, arts, crafts, games, swimming, yoga, dance, and many other important activities. Positive development is nurtured in a non-competitive atmosphere. The daily  schedule not only allows each camper to increase fine and gross motor skills, sensory-motor development, self-esteem and socialization skills, but also assists campers in choosing appropriate physical leisure time activities. Campers will experience an enjoyable summer program that will prepare them to succeed in integrated settings now and in the future.
