Autism Summer Camps in Richmond, Virginia

Greater Richmond families have several avenues for summer programming. The Autism Society of Central Virginia (ASCV) runs social and recreational programming and maintains resource directories that can point families to camps and summer activities. County and city parks and recreation departments (Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield, Hanover) sometimes offer inclusive or adaptive camps and therapeutic recreation. Some ABA and therapy providers run structured summer programs, and various special-needs and adaptive camps operate across the Richmond region and wider Virginia.

Availability shifts year to year, and popular programs fill early — many open registration in late winter or early spring. Because there's no single directory, families usually assemble options from ASCV, local parks & rec, their therapy providers, and word of mouth in local parent groups.

For funding: some DD Waiver services (like respite) can help offset camp-type costs for eligible families, and some camps offer scholarships.
