Autism Summer Camps Near Minneapolis

A good summer camp gives an autistic child a real summer - friends, activities, growth - and gives you a stretch of predictable, supported time. The Twin Cities have some well-established options, including camps built specifically for autistic campers.

Camps vary a lot: some are autism-specific with trained staff and high support ratios, others are inclusive mainstream camps that accommodate. The right one depends on your child's needs and how much support they require.

This page covers what to look for and where to start in the Minneapolis area.
