Camp Journey Overnight Camp
Camp Journey is an overnight camp for older elementary students through young adults with Autism. Campers will enjoy many typical camp activities such as swimming, canoeing, archery, climbing wall, fishing, and team building activities such as the ropes course. Incorporated into each day are social skills lessons revolving around making friends and memories during six fun filled days and nights at Camp Twin Lakes Will-A-Way in Winder, GA.
Due to the unique nature of overnight camp we encourage parents to think about how well prepared thier child is for an overninght camp. Participation by elementary age children and middle/high school students with moderate/severe levels of Autism Spectrum Disorders has been successful for some campers, however campers need to be ready to move around a lot and participate in groups with a 5 camper to 1 adult ratio. Camp Journey reserves the right to review all applications and make a final decision on camper participation.
