What is Celebrate The Spectrum?

Celebrate the Spectrum is an opportunity for positive action to provide spaces of support and advocacy for our diverse communities — while learning about autism and how we can all make our communities better and more inclusive places for autistic people

There are so many fun ways to Celebrate The Spectrum with us on World Autism Day across Ontario. Find out how to get involved leading up to April 2, 2024, and throughout the month of April.

Summer Camp – Camp Shomria (hashomerhatzair.ca)

Camp Summary

Our chanichimot (campers) can’t wait to get back to camp. The chance to live with their best friends, to pursue their passions and learn out from behind a desk, to be treated like an adult, and – who are we kidding – the chance to get some time away from the folks. Camp is special. If you went to camp as a kid, you remember.

And our camp is special. It’s small enough that everyone knows everyone, and since people come back year after year, it’s more than a camp, it’s a village; a village made up of people from around the world, people who all experience Shomria as more than a retreat, but as a home away from home.

All our campers are organized by kvutza (group). Each kvutza is grouped by age and has a set of madrichimot (counsellors), most of whom are former campers themselves, each with their unique approach. The three younger kvutzot and the three older kvutzot are each called a machane (camp), and all of it together is called mosh.

One of the most special aspects of camp is living communally in tzrifim (cabins). We are proud to offer multiple housing options (girls, boys, and all gender cabins) to meet the diverse needs of our camp community.

Grade 1-10

Camp Ten Oaks – Ten Oaks Project

Camp Summary

Camp Ten Oaks is the first and only summer camp of its kind in Canada. We offer children a space where they can feel not only accepted, but celebrated. For many campers, our program is the cornerstone of their year.

Our programming variety allows campers to receive instruction, strengthen old skills and develop new ones with the option to participate in outdoor adventure, waterfront, arts, social justice activities and sports. We empower children and youth through play that enhances self-esteem, life skills, independence, leadership and self-confidence.
