Attention Parents: Elementary campers at all functioning levels and middle/high school campers needing a higher ratio of adult staff to campers will be in small groups this summer. Groups will be divided by age and ability level. This change has been made to reflect parent's comments on last year's survey about summer camp. Fees for all summer day camp groups are $250 per week. Specialty camps are available for middle/high/adults with HFA/Asperger's Syndrome.
Art Camp is for any age or ability level camper and will be from 10am to 2pm. This is a different time schedule than all other day camps.

Our History

Spectrum currently serves over 600 families in Gwinnett County and at least seven surrounding counties. Spectrum is pleased to be able to sponsor school year and summer programs for children of all ages with ASD. All of the programs offered have been developed to provide each child with opportunities to build friendships and generate social awareness within the community while improving self-esteem, self-awareness and independence.

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.
