Autism Summer Camps in Charleston, West Virginia

Dedicated autism summer camps are limited in West Virginia, so most Charleston families piece together inclusive programs, sensory-friendly events, and camps willing to accommodate. There are real options in the Kanawha Valley, but few are autism-specific, and it takes some legwork to find a good fit. This page is honest about the gaps and points you to what does exist.
