The only summer day camp of its kind in Western North Carolina, Camp Tikvah enables children on the autism spectrum to enjoy the fun and community of Camp Ruach in an individually monitored and highly structured program. A collaboration between Autism Consulting and Training, Inc. and Camp Ruach, Camp Tikvah is a unique four-week experience that allows these special kids to participate in as many peer activities as is individually appropriate. Well-trained counselors focus on sensory issues, communication, socialization, and of course, community and fun. All Camp Tikvah staff complete an intensive training with Jennifer Lingle, M.Ed., Director of Autism Consulting and Training, Inc. and Camp Tikvah program director. To ensure Camp Tikvah is the right setting for each child, and because space is limited to six campers per session, families must be interviewed prior to registration. Contact Camp Ruach Director, Seth Kellam to arrange your interview.
