Respite Weekends
Respite Weekends are held in September & May. The retreats offer opportunities for existing campers, siblings, grandparents and potential summer campers to experience weekends with unique programming. Respite sessions help restore spirit and mind, maintain friendships and develop new friendships, and recharge caregivers while reinforcing skills and guiding caregivers through behaviour management skills and coping strategies.
Camper Respite Weekends
Our Respite Weekends serve neurodiverse youth who are 7-17 years of age. Some campers require 1:1 support while others manage with 1:2 counselling. Youth have the opportunity to participate in and explore a variety of activities that the camp has to offer all while learning valuable skills.
Higher Needs Autism Weekends
Camp Winston Higher Needs Autism Respite Weekends serve individuals on the ‘high needs’ end of the spectrum from age 7 on to adulthood. This program offers 1:1 support which enables campers to thrive at camp.
Grand-Family Weekends
Camp Winston offers respite weekends for grandparents who are raising their grandchildren with a variety of neurological challenges. Grandparents enjoy respite and time for mutual support while their grandchildren participate in camp activities and support groups.
Siblings Retreat
Our Sibling Weekends support siblings of existing campers, waitlisted campers and community families. The weekends offer siblings of youth with complex neurological challenges the opportunity to share experiences and learn skills and strategies to relate to their siblings with more compassion.
