À propos

For over 25 years Camp Kirk has provided a nurturing, non-competitive and supportive environment for neurodiverse kids and youth ( Learning Disabilities, ADHD and Autism). 

Your donation today will give kids a recreation program that builds their confidence, connections, and community. 

Our Mission

We empower neurodiverse kids and youth to reach their potential through recreational programs.

The Kids and Youth we Serve

Our campers and leaders-in-training are neurodiverse kids and youth, age 6-18. The majority of participants typically have one or more of the following diagnoses:

  • Learning Disability
  • Attention Deficit Disorder
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder
  • Tourettes or a tic disorder
  • An anxiety disorder
  • Sensory Processing Disorder
  • Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder

Note: Participants do not need a formal diagnosis to be eligible for Camp Kirk.

What is neurodiversity?

Simply put, neurodiversity is the diversity of the human mind. There are natural variations in how humans learn, think, and experience the world. Neurodivergent individuals are people who have more distinct ways of learning and thinking than what has been deemed the ‘average’ standard. The concept of neurodiversity sees these differences as normal, rather than deficits.

All our campers and leaders-in-training are neurodiverse, which is a fact we value and celebrate

Our Programs

We create spaces where kids and youth who think and act ‘out-of-the-box’ can thrive. We meet with every camper before they come to camp to ensure we have the right program and supports in place for them to have a successful experience.   Through small group environments, non-competitive programming, and a focus on strengths, our programs create a safe space for our campers to discover what they have to offer the world.
