Johnston, RI 02919

Individuals with ASD or other behavioral, physical, or neurodevelopmental disabilities, ages 5-21.

The Camp WANNAGOAGAIN! program is designed to provide opportunities for real-life experiences, an environment to learn new leisure skills, and the chance to meet new friends in a structured environment with experienced staff.

Camp provides the following supports for its campers across activities:

• Visual supports that enhance comprehension and prediction of expectations
• Low camper-to-counselor ratio
• 1:1 support when necessary
• Trained, highly skilled staff
• Sensory-based activities that enhance a camper’s ability to take advantage of language and communication opportunities
• Structured teaching methods
• Relaxation techniques that enhance self-regulation
• Daily living routines incorporated into camp activities as appropriate
• Staff and program content that supports play skills, social skills and participation in group activities
• Camp facilities (such as the lake and nature trails) that offer gross motor activities, which satisfy sensory needs and encourage communication
• Traditional camp activities like swimming, boating, arts and crafts, and nature walks

The Autism Project provides a safe, supported, and fun camp experience.
