Camp FAQs, Answered:
When is camp?
Camp will be the weeks of July 22, 2024, July 29, 2024 and August 5, 2024. Each camper is placed for one of the three weeks. Week placements are made based on your child's abilities, diagnoses, and information provided in the Registration packet. The third week will be for adults ages 21 and older only!
Who can attend camp?
Children from age 5 (and entering kindergarten) to 21+ with an ASD diagnosis or related communication disorder may attend Camp WANNAGOAGAIN! summer camp. (Campers who have previously attended Camp may continue after the age of 21).
What group will my child be with?
Camp groups are determined according to children’s ages, abilities and diagnoses.
How much does camp cost?
$550.00, which includes a $75.00 non-refundable deposit. Tuition may be paid by personal check, VISA, MasterCard or checks/purchase orders from other funding sources.

Does your camp need any volunteers?
We use many volunteers and interns for each session. If you are interested, please complete our CLT Application 2024 or the Peer Camper Application 2024 and return it to Cathy Young.
Is there anything new that volunteers and interns need to know?
