One Kids Place Children’s Treatment Centre (OKP) has launched the registration for both the 2017 Autism Summer Camps and the OKP-NADY Summer Camp. The camps offer a meaningful series of summer camp opportunities that will benefit children and youth with special needs, and their families.
Autism Summer Camps
Building on the successful launch of these camps in 2015, last year the Autism Summer Camps continued this momentum and saw over 85 children and youth experience the benefits of this unique and specialized camp. The 2017 camps are set for another year that will see the camps expand beyond North Bay, Muskoka and Parry Sound to now include camps in North Cobalt and Timmins as well.
These camps will once again provide activities that are fun, interesting and which are designed to meet the unique needs of children and youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). All camps are themed and unique camps are held for different age groups ranging from ages 4-18. The first camp for 2017 starts on July 10th, and each camp runs for one week. As in past years, these camps are being offered free of charge because of the generosity of Mark and Steve Deacon.
NADY/OKP Summer Camp
The NADY/OKP Summer recreation programming will once again be offering 8 weeks of ½ day programming for children and youth ages 6-21 who have communication, development and physical disabilities/delays. These programs, which start July 4th, will focus on the development of healthy active living skills while remaining focused on fun and meaningful participation.
Due to the partnership between OKP and NADY, and the community support that NADY receives through their fundraising efforts, this summer program is once again being offered free of charge to participants.
"NADY is grateful to have OKP as a partner to ensure that all children and youth have the opportunity to experience a fun summer with their friends!” Lori Venasse, NADY Executive said.
