I was excited at the possibility of my children being able to attend something special and that they would be accepted for who they are

As a parent of two children with autism, choices are made every day with extra thought.
Some times anxiety arises around these choices.

Sending my two babies away for a week was a highly stressful choice for us. 

When I stumbled upon Camp Kirk I was excited at the possibility of my children being able to attend something special and that they would be accepted for who they are. 

Every ‘mom worry’ I had Camp Kirk had covered.

When I met Erica I felt a sense of calm and peace. I knew all she wanted was to give my children an amazing experience and that's exactly what they had.

When we dropped them off the counsellors could see the worry on my face and combatted it with a gentle hug and a confirmation that they would take amazing care of my babies.

Each day I received a thought filled email from Erica reassuring me that the kids were safe and loved and having fun.

My two boys ask over and over when they can go back to Camp Kirk. The camp and the counsellors hold a very special place in our family’s hearts.
