Special Needs Summer Camps

Every Child, Every Ability, Every Adventure

One Kids Place Special Needs Summer Camp Program registrations are now open!

One Kids Place Camp Programs provide children and youth with the opportunity to engage in social and recreational activities within a highly individualized, supportive environment. Our camps are designed to help participants develop new skills, explore exciting activities, and build meaningful connections with their peers, all while ensuring a setting that fosters success.

For many children, particularly those with Autism or other developmental challenges, attending traditional community camps can be difficult due to the need for a dedicated support person, which can create a significant financial burden for families. At One Kids Place, we are committed to breaking down these barriers by offering specialized camps that provide a safe, enriching experience where families can feel confident that their child’s unique needs are met. More than just a place for fun, our camps promote social-emotional learning, foster relationship-building, and encourage personal growth.

This summer, One Kids Place will be offering seven weeks of specialized camp opportunities for children and youth with special needs at our Nipissing location, featuring exciting programming and fully supported experiences. Additionally, there will be two weeks of High Needs Autism Camps, which include full respite support and staffing to ensure the highest level of care.
