Registration is underway for summer camps involving One Kids Place Children’s Treatment Centre.

Officials say the Autism Summer Camps and OKP-NADY Summer Camp offer a meaningful series of summer camp opportunities benefiting children and youth with special needs, and their families.

Along with camps in North Bay, Muskoka and Parry Sound, the Autism Summer Camps are being expanded to North Cobalt and Timmins this year.

The camps for different age groups, ranging from ages 4-8, are being offered free of charge thanks to Mark and Steve Deacon.

“We are truly grateful for the ongoing support from the Deacon family,” Denis Filiatrault, Executive Director stated. “It’s because of their $100,000 pledge over 5 years that OKP is able to offer these wonderful camps to so many children and youth with Autism.”

“Steve and I feel fortunate to have been able to support the wonderful work that One Kids Place does each day”. Mark Deacon said. “With the first two years of the Autism Summer Camp being so successful, we are pleased that the camps are expanding in both size and across geographies, so that more children and youth with Autism can benefit.”

The NADY/OKP Summer recreation programming will once again be offering 8 weeks of ½ day programming for children and youth ages 6-21 who have communication, development and physical disabilities/delays.

“NADY is grateful to have OKP as a partner to ensure that all children and youth have the opportunity to experience a fun summer with their friends!” Lori Venasse, NADY Executive said. “This program wouldn’t be possible without the ongoing generosity of the North Bay community.”
