Camp SKIP (Spectrum Kommunity Inclusion Project)

Spectrum's Kommunity Inclusion Project, (SKIP), is a program providing support and training to local camps and churches so that children on the autism spectrum can be included in typical camp or church settings where they can learn crucial social, communication and play skills. Our goal is that all children will learn to work with, play with, respect and value each other, regardless of varying abilities and skills.

Please email us at campskip@atl-spectrum.com to make arrangements for a specific camp or church to receive a free training session.  

Training sessions are offered at no charge.  We also provide free follow-up consultation, up to 2 hours per child with autism, in their programs. (There may be a charge for additional hours.) We also train churches for Vacation Bible School and/or Sunday School.    


Participating camps for this year are listed below.
These camps have received our autism specific training.
