Summer Camp Ages 7+
Each July and August, ARC provides a safe space where learning and fun go hand in hand! Our camps are designed to provide engaging skill building and fun recreational opportunities for autistic children and youth in a supportive environment. Every day is an adventure filled with discovery and enjoyment.
Weekly Day Camp
By thoughtfully designing our camp to meet the needs of autistic youth and children, we help our campers create the amazing summer memories they deserve! Each camper is paired 1:1 with a dedicated support who works with them throughout the week. Together, they follow a personalized program plan, tailored to include a blend of engaging individual and group activities. Camp runs from 9am to 3pm Monday to Friday, unless there is a stat holiday.
Mornings begin with a routine that blends individualized goals, life skills development, and fun breaks at our rented facilities in south Regina. Campers also take part in regular community outings each morning, followed by swimming every afternoon. Each camper must bring a picnic-style lunch to enjoy in the park daily.

To ensure the best experience for all participants, we have established registration guidelines. Registration will open in April for children and youth who:
Have an autism diagnosis

-
Our summer program receives an overwhelming number of requests each year, and do to funding limitations we cannot guarantee that all requested weeks will be available.

Starting the morning of April 7th, the online registration form will be linked at the top of our Summer Program Page,
Registration will remain open until 11:59 PM on Sunday, April 13th. All submissions during this period will be entered into a randomized queue for week allocations—submitting earlier does not increase your chances of securing a spot.
By keeping registration open for a full week, we aim to reduce stress and provide greater flexibility for families with varying schedules and technology access.
No priority is given to those that are first to submit the forms
All registration forms submitted between April 7-13 will be placed in a randomized queue for week allocations. This change has been made to reduce stress and better accommodate the various scheduling commitments and access to technology of our families. Registrations will not be accepted after April 13th.
Steps for Registration
Step 1 - Prepare to Register
Prior to registration, ensure you have all the information you will need to complete the registration form online. You will be requested to provide the following information for each child attending camp:

Each participant can register for 2 to 4 weeks of camp. To ensure the best camp experience, we are unable to accept single-week registrations due to the time required to develop individualized support plans and goals. Registration is capped at 4 weeks to accommodate growing demand
-
Providing flexibility in the weeks your camper can attend may increase their chances of acceptance. The registration form allows you to select more than the maximum number of weeks to accommodate this.
-
Please select only weeks the participant can attend, as changes cannot be made later. Withdrawing from requested weeks may affect eligibility for next summer, depending on circumstances.
Step 2 - Submit your Registration (April 7-13)
