Summer Day Camps provides participants with the opportunity to attend themed day camps. Camp themes include bike and sports, arts and crafts, adventure, and science. Participants are supported by a high ratio of trained staff and dedicated volunteers to ensure skill development and activity engagement, as well as to encourage participants to get to know each other and build peer relationships.

Program fees vary depending on location, program structure, and staffing requirements. Canucks Autism Network does not want this fee to act as a barrier to participation and is willing to collaborate with any family needing financial assistance.
