Camp Free2BMe is a unique summer day camp offering social skills programming combined with recreational opportunities to children and young adults ages 13 and up.
Each week is focused on a specific skill and is learned through outings, art, music, themed activities, individual and group projects.
We practice skills out in the community three to four days per week. RAIN uses an evidence based peer to peer model in all of our programs. Peer to peer support programs and inclusion of students with ASD not only contributes to positive outcomes for the campers with ASD, but can also impact a number of outcomes for peers.

I am interested in learning more about camp free 2 be me for my 13yo son with Asperger’s. He is a rising 8th grader, was diagnosed when he was 7 and really wants to be able to self-regulate, work in groups, and gain more skills to make it easier to operate in a world that he currently doesn’t “fit” in. Cant wait to hear more about this program!
