Happy Groundhogs Day!
Several days ago I heard there are plans underway for a family camp weekend at Bay Cliff, April 8-10. Last week, I spoke with the camp director, Seth Rowles, and he was able to answer some of my questions. The target age range is 5-17 and the plan to is to try to keep it fun and keep it structured yet flexible to meet the needs of individual families. Bay Cliff has offered family camps for other groups in the past and they have some ideas of how to do this, but this will be a first for the autism community. One of the features Seth said he was planning on was a breakout opportunity for siblings.
If you would like to know more, Seth will be hosting a google meet on Thursday, February 17 from 5-6 pm:

BTW: When I spoke with Seth he updated me on Bay Cliff's summer camp program. In the past it was not an option for any child with an autism diagnosis. Those days are over.
