Summer Program
Hench Autism Studies Program

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Hench Summer Program has been hosting summer programs for youth and young adults diagnosed with autism for over a decade. Throughout the years of service, our programming has evolved, but our mission to provide fun activities and create space for participants to be celebrated for being themselves has stayed true! 

The summer program offers activities for participants who have completed grades 3 - 5 and for participants who have completed grades 6 - 8. Lead program staff are licensed educators, and Defiance College students serve as camp counselors who model summer program expectations and and support youth to participate in programming.
