Autism Camp Australia at YMCA Camp Wyuna!

Launched in 2020, Autism Camp Australia (ACA) was created to fill a critical gap in services to autistic young people and their families.

Passionate about driving life-changing outcomes for autistic people, they are leaders in the evolution of a balanced and respectful relationship between autistic young people, their families and all Australians.

The goal of ACA is to help young autistic people develop confidence and independence, increase their social connection, develop new and lasting friendships and celebrate their autistic identity.

They also work towards the parents/carers and siblings building increased resilience, enhancing their social networks and having a greater ability to maintain informal support for their young people.

The Camps

ACA’s first location opened in New South Wales in January 2020, with a second location opening on the Sunshine Coast shortly after. Their third location, (and our favourite), YMCA Camp Wyuna, opened in December 2021.

These programs work as a stepping-stone to mainstream inclusive social and community participation and help young autistic people form an initial engagement and works as a stepping-stone to mainstream inclusive social and community participation.

At the camps, neurodiversity, embracing differences and nurturing individuality are all celebrated.

Hundreds of autistic young people and their families are already benefitting from this amazing program.
