Autism camps in Pennsylvania
2 campswe have checked against the organisation’s own website. Day camps, overnight camps and respite weekends — including, where they exist, the ones that serve adults.
Ask about paying with waiver respite. Pennsylvania’s waiver is the Consolidated, Community Living and P/FDS Waivers (ODP), and respite hours can often be spent on camp, billed as out-of-home respite. Ask your case manager, and ask the camp whether they accept Pennsylvania waiver funding. How Pennsylvania’s waiver works →
Camp Kinney
Ages 5–21Kinney Center, 5600 City Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19131
An American Camp Association-accredited summer camp designed specifically for autistic people aged 5 to 21, built on a reverse-inclusion model where neurotypical peers join the program rather than the other way round.
The Woodlands Foundation
Ages All ages134 Shenot Road, Wexford, PA 15090
Overnight summer camps, weekend retreats and after-school programs for people of all ages with disabilities and chronic illness, on a site at Wexford north of Pittsburgh. The weekend retreats matter as much as the camps — they give a family a real break during the school year rather than only in summer, and they let a first-time camper try one night before committing to a week.
