Autism Summer Camps Near Rochester

A good summer camp gives an autistic child a real summer - friends, activities, growth - and gives you a stretch of predictable, supported time. Rochester families have a mix of statewide autism-specific camps and local programs that can accommodate.

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 support level.

This page covers what to look for and where to start for Rochester families.
