Project Description:
Camp Rising Sun, New Mexico?s Only Summer Camp for Children with Autism The University of New Mexico Center for Development and Disability (UNM CDD) has announced Camp Rising Sun as the newest member of the center?s Autism programs. Camp Rising Sun is the only overnight summer camp in New Mexico for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Founded as a nonprofit in 2006, Camp Rising Sun provides an inclusive summer camp setting for children with Autism and their typically developing peers. The camp?s mission is to provide a summer camp experience for children with Autism, give respite to parents and caretakers, and serve as a training ground for future educators and therapists. With the addition of Camp Rising Sun, the Autism programs at the UNM CDD will continue to provide statewide support and opportunities to people with Autism Spectrum Disorders and their families. Camp Rising Sun is currently an HSC-TV Feature. For the entire story, visit http://hsc.unm.edu/, click on the ?watch video? button on the right.
