ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR SUMMER 2020

The Camp is run by certified BCBAs/BCaBA and all other camp leaders have extensive experience in ABA, Verbal Behaviour and working with children with Autism. Children will come to our centre and participate in several indoor and outdoor games, crafts and short outings in the Burnaby community. Children provide their own lunches.
