Elks Respite Camp Sessions

These sessions are for individuals ages three and up who have moderate to severe physical and/or cognitive disabilities or Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Highly-trained counselors are paired one-to-one with campers 24-hours a day, and a registered nurse is on site. Activities and routines are carefully tailored to meet the recreational, social and emotional needs of each camper.

Separate sessions designed specifically for those with Asperger Syndrome and high-functioning autism are also available.
