I am pleased to announce that through the hard work and collaboration between the Autism Society San Diego and the YMCA that we will be able to offer Camp I CAN this summer!

I understand that this is very different from past years of Camp I CAN. Email me at campicanymca@gmail.com if you have any questions. I am so glad that we are able to offer Camp I CAN in some capacity this summer. This will be a great opportunity to focus more on social skills and flexibility with our campers as we go into uncharted waters this summer. I look forward to seeing your camper! Stay safe and we will see you at the end of July.
Warmest Regards,
Mr. Jason
I hope that your family has stayed safe and healthy through this unprecedented time. I am pleased to announce that through the hard work and collaboration between the Autism Society San Diego and the YMCA that we will be able to offer Camp I CAN this summer! Camp will look very different this summer as we have to follow guidelines established by the CDC and local and state governments. The changes as to how camp will look as well as the dates we will be operating are as follows:
- Camp dates: Magdalena Ecke:
Week 1: July 27 – July 31
Week 2: August 3 – August 7 - Toby Wells:
Week 3: August 10 – 14
Week 4: August 17 – 21 - Camp will be site based this summer meaning that there will be no field trips. All programming will be done on site.
- There will be 2 camp “pods” running simultaneously at each site to comply with CDC guidelines. Each pod will have 7 campers, 4 staff and 1 supervisor.
- Camp hours will be from 9am-1PM daily. Before and after care will not be available.
- Ages 6-17 will be accepted each week. I will assign camper to pods that will best accommodate social interaction with peers of the same age group (one pod for younger campers, one pod for older as best as we can accommodate.)
- Registration for camp will begin July 1st. Registration packets that have already been turned in will have priority.
- There will be no swimming but water games will be a part of programming.
- Both staff and campers will be required to wear masks or a face covering. I can assist with social stories or video modeling so we can best frontload your camper.
I understand that this is very different from past years of Camp I CAN. Email me at campicanymca@gmail.com if you have any questions. I am so glad that we are able to offer Camp I CAN in some capacity this summer. This will be a great opportunity to focus more on social skills and flexibility with our campers as we go into uncharted waters this summer. I look forward to seeing your camper! Stay safe and we will see you at the end of July.
Warmest Regards,
Mr. Jason
