About Camp

We are offering a unique camp for children on the autism spectrum with a one-to-one camper to counsellor ratio. Week-long half-day camps will be held between July 4th and August 18th. Camp Marvel is located at the centre at 1666 Lincoln Road, which offers a safe, inclusive, and fun space.

We will offer an engaging week full of activities, crafts, games, outings and more.
