Summer camps for elementary kids on the spectrum

Hi everyone,

I’m starting to look into summer camps for my elementary-aged child who is on the spectrum. I’ve seen quite a few general camps around, but I’m wondering if there are any that are more specialized or tailored for kids with autism or additional support needs.

My daughter stims a lot (flapping hands and takes longer to understand direction etc ). I see other kids from the rec program that doesn't understand her. Gives her an odd look and avoid conversation when she engage.

Ideally looking for something that has smaller group sizes, experienced staff, and a more structured or supportive environment. We’re based in the Richmond/Vancouver area, but open to nearby options if it’s a good fit.

If anyone has recommendations or personal experiences (good or bad), I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
