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! Daily programming offers safe, structured, goal‑oriented and recreation‑based activities that help campers learn new skills, enjoy new experiences, and maintain a consistent routine. Each camper is paired 1:1 with a dedicated support who works with them throughout the week. Together, they follow an individualized program plan, and the support staff helps facilitate participation in all planned activities.

Mornings begin with a routine that blends individualized goals, life‑skill development, and fun breaks at our rented facilities in Regina. Campers also take part in regular morning community outings and a variety of day trips, followed by swimming every afternoon. Camp runs daily from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m and each camper brings a picnic‑style lunch to enjoy in the park.

The online registration form will be available on this webpage beginning the morning of April 1st, and will remain accessible until the end of day on April 12.

All forms submitted during the registration window will be placed into a randomized queue for week allocation. There is no priority given to earlier submissions. Families are encouraged to access the registration form at a time that works best for them to reduce website traffic.

Camp fees:

Fees are $70/day

5-day weeks: $350
4-day weeks (Weeks 5 & 7): $280

A valid ARC Membership is required for participation and will be collected when camp payments are made. Because weeks are not guaranteed at the time of registration, returning families are advised not to renew their membership until camp fees are collected. The membership fee is $40 annually.

Important Payment Plan Update for 2026:

We’ve updated our payment plan process to support timely payments and to enhance overall efficiency. As a result, all 2026 camp fees must be paid in full before July 3, 2026. This ensures ARC has the funding needed to run a high-quality program and allows us to offer camp to as many families as possible.

If you have received confirmation of camp weeks and cannot pay in full before July 3, 2026, you may request a financial assistance form by emailing morgan@autismresourcecentre.com before your coordinator meeting in May. Limited financial support may be available, and is not guaranteed until you have applied and received official approval for funds.

Important Notes

Providing flexible availability may increase the likelihood of being accepted into the program
The form includes two separate questions: one asking how many weeks you are requesting, and another asking for the specific dates you are available
- Select the number of weeks you want, and list all dates you are available
- For example, you may request two weeks while providing availability for all weeks
- Supplying full availability ensures we have maximum flexibility when scheduling
Do not select any weeks the participant cannot attend
Do not request more weeks than you intend to keep
Week changes cannot be accommodated after assignments are made.
Dropping weeks that reduce enrollment below the two-week minimum may jeopardize your spot and/or refund eligibility
Dropping weeks may impact your eligibility for future summer program registration, depending on the circumstances

3. Watch for your camp allocation email and schedule your meeting with the camp coordinators.

You will receive an email update no later than Wednesday, April 29th stating whether you received any camp weeks based on the randomized queue, and, if applicable, which specific weeks were allocated.

If you have been allocated camp weeks, the email will include a link to book an in‑person meeting with the appropriate camp coordinators based on the participant’s age

Note: Booking promptly provides more meeting time options. To minimize disruption to programming, families are asked to use the scheduling link rather than calling to book a meeting time.

4. Attend Coordinator Meeting (May 1-5) & Pay Fees

Every family will meet with the camp coordinators. Daytime, evening, and weekend options will be available. During this meeting:

Program fees must be paid, or a payment plan needs to be put in place

Families from out of town may complete the meeting by phone, but some forms must still be completed in person or scanned/faxed before registration is considered complete. Delays may result in forfeiting weeks
