Rees Summer Communication Support Services

clinicians and clients at Pioneer Pals summer camp for kids with autism

PIONEER PALS - a summer camp for children with autism

Campers practice social communication skills in the context of fun and engaging themed activities, arts and crafts, outdoor play, music, and more. The focus of our camp is on building camper skills in the context of authentic relationships and interactions with supervisors, peers, and volunteers. We welcome siblings of campers to help us create an inclusive community for young children with autism, learning new ways to interact and play with their brother/sister.

Children ages 3-10 are eligible to participate, along with one additional sibling. Pioneer Pals may consider an additional sibling within this age range.  Campers with no siblings are also welcome.

How to apply

All can apply for services; no referral is required.  An evaluation must first be done at our teaching clinic before therapy services can be considered, at a cost of $25. To apply:

  • Submit a complete application for services.
  • Turn it in to us by email, mail, or in person.
  • Include supporting papers such as IEP’s or medical records.
    • The application is not considered complete if supporting papers exist but are not provided.
  • Wait for us to contact you.
    • It can take up to 3 weeks for us to schedule the evaluation. 

If you are referred for therapy, a scheduling form will be provided for the summer session, during which a clinician and supervisor will be matched to the client.  If we are unable to schedule you for the summer, please ask us how to be considered for academic year services.
