Send a Student to Camp recipient

We reached our goal of $425.  That is enough to cover the cost for a deserving family that their child may attend our Spectrum Insights Summer Camp. 
Congratulations Connor! 
Please see his wonderful message below.

Thank you for donating to spectrum insights so that I can go to camp. It means so much to me to know that their are people out there who are willing to donate money to an organization that provides services to children with Autism. I’m also glad that their are people out there that see people with Autism as being unique not inferior to people who don’t have Autism.

I love the camp since it let’s me develop my interpersonal skills in a safe, sheltered environment, along side other people like me who are having to find their own ways to cope with their personal challenges. Spectrum Insights also has a caring, inclusive and fun mood attributed to it that makes the camp activities enjoyable. Spectrum Insights has also helped me get used to going on the bus on my own, since the camp also teaches you how to plan a bus route, find the right bus stop to get off the bus and other stuff about OC Transpo. I have also learned how to manage my money while at camp since we go and eat out almost every day and then on Friday we go to the mall and we are aloud to used the money that we saved all week to buy stuff at the mall that we want. Camp has also taught me how to be flexible since the restaurants that we go to throughout the week vary in style of food so we get to try all sorts of different food. I also enjoy Spectrum Insights since we go on a lot of fun outings instead of staying inside all day so it keeps me active and I have fun at the same time. I also enjoy the staff because they are friendly and fun.

So thank you to all to all of the people who donated money to spectrum insights so that I can go to camp.

What Our Clients Are Saying

I have accompanied clients for 2 summers to John's camp. I have been to the Social & Life Skills Camp and the 18 and older "Moving Forward Camp." My clients and myself look forward each summer to attending his camp. 
John has excellent behaviour management skills, teaches the clients social and life skills (planning your bus route, bus etiquette, looking at a menu and ordering, tipping, planning and organizing outings, getting to know people, body language, budgeting money, etc.) that are important to daily living as well as incorporating the clients' interests that are age appropriate. He develops a great relationship with the clients and jokes around with them to develop a rapport. Sometimes our daily schedule changes, which helps clients deal with changes that can occur in every day life. The clients develop friendships with each other and help each other out thanks to John's teaching. John allows the clients to make mistakes and encourages them to work as a team to solve the problem. John captures our daily outings on camera and/or film so parents can view their children interacting and having fun at camp. 

It is a great camp for fostering independence while incorporating your child's interest which in turn creates motivation! I have been to many summer camps and this camp is one of the top camps that my clients and myself look forward to attending each summer!
