Please note, Yepoon is our first week long QLD camp. Attendees do not need to stay a week. Please note, camp activties are planned for the first weekend, but not for the whole week. This is an open event for families dealing with Autism, those who are local families are welcome to attend the venue. Families from the surrounding region are encouraged to attend the camp for a day trip or come along for the weekend or the week.
The cancellation of our Husskinson Beach camp caused a lot of disappointment and people continue to approach us about re-establishing this camp. Camp Autism has listened and responded. We are very pleased to announce this camp has been included for 2010. Click here.
