If you read through all of our content (on our brochures, on our website, and in all other communications), you’ll see we interchangably use "autistic" as well as "individual on the spectrum." This is with thoughtful intention and guided by input from autistic adults / adults on the spectrum. Some feel VERY strongly that we should only use “autistic” while others feel VERY strongly that we should only say “individual on the autism spectrum.” Thus, to honor everyone’s preferences, we use both, honoring both preferences and perspectives.

With 20% of our volunteers on the spectrum and on our Board of Directors, we take their input to heart. Because we cannot side with one individual’s preferences over the other, we try to honor both. 💚

Will being a peer model change your child's life the way it changed Kaya's? You'll never know until you sign your camper up!

PEER MODEL CAMPER SLOTS AVAILABLE: Seeking youth, not on the autism spectrum, that consistently exhibit kindness, patience, and typically developing social and behavioral skills.

After being provided with a training to prepare them for the role, Peer Model Campers participate in Camp Encourage like all other campers. They reside in the cabins overnight with same-aged campers on the autism spectrum, participate in all camp activities, and serve as positive role models. Anyone, not on the autism spectrum, between the age of ten and eighteen may apply.

Immense thanks to those individuals that purchased

Immense thanks to those individuals that purchased a raffle ticket this past month! Thanks to everyone’s collective generosity and winning spirit, all 100 tickets sold and $10,000 was raised! What a gift! 💝

A winner was selected and has been notified. If you were unable to score a ticket this time or if you did yet weren't the lucky winner, don't fret! We'll be selling raffle tickets this fall for S'mores and Pours and will have a variety of wonderful trips to select from!

HUGE thanks to @hyvee for donating the generous gift card! The funds raised through this raffle will positively impact autistic youth in our region. With our programming growth this year, the support is needed more than ever!
