Camp Philosophy

A Project of ABOARD Area Autism Support Group

We believe it is important to provide an opportunity to bring together families who face challenges of Autism and related developmental disorders.

Parents, siblings, as well as the afflicted individual, need to share their common experiences, their hopes and dreams, and to find support for the special challenges faced througthout the year.

CampEmerge focuses on the strengths of individuals and families.

We believe CampEmerge provides the opportunity to simply "be a family" for a weekend, without fear of judgment or pressure to explain differences, and where every effort is met with praise and celebration.

We believe that families need the support of one another as well as the support of their communities, demonstrated through the efforts of our volunteers and sponsers.

The puzzle pattern of this ribbon reflects the mystery and complexity of autism. The different colors and shapes represent the diversity of the people and families living with this disorder. The brightness of the ribbon signals hope - hope through research and in the increasing awareness of people like you.
