What you will be supporting…
OPERATION SHINE CAMPS are day camps and weekend camps for children ages 7-12 experiencing Autism Spectrum Disorders and related conditions. The days include: arts/crafts, swimming, fishing, archery, crate stacking, sensory activities, and more! Each camper has 2 big campers who have been carefully selected just for them. Operation Shine Camp volunteers receive training in the specific disorders that will be present at camp. Trained professionals and nursing staff are on-site 24/7.
Why It Matters…
For many children with autism, a camp opportunity is not possible without a lot of support and understanding. The testimonies speak for themselves on why Operation Shine Camp matters to so many.
