Autism Society of BC
Summer Reimbursement Program
We want to let you know about a great program that Autism BC runs every year called the Summer Reimbursement Program. Eligible families can receive up to $150 per child to help with the cost of their autistic child’s summer camp. There is no age limit for this program, so adults with autism can apply too. If you are a professional who works with clients with autism, please feel free to let them know about the program. They will need to apply for a membership with Autism BC, but as 2015 marks ASBC’s 40th anniversary, membership is free this year. Families can download the application form for membership or apply online at https://www.autismbc.ca/register/.
Application forms must be received by July 24th, and original camp receipts must be received by August 28th. Eligible programs include (but are not limited to) overnight camps, community center programs, soccer or other athletic camps, computer courses, art or music courses, and similar programs. Childcare or one-to-one worker expenses also qualify, as long as the worker is not directly related to the autistic person.
If you need help finding a camp for your child, please contact information workers Lindy Chau (lchau@autismbc.ca) or Stella Hui (shui@autismbc.ca).
