ASK Camp is a co-op camp run by volunteers and the families of the campers. It was developed by members of Autism Society Ontario - York Region Chapter - to ensure that children with Autism Spectrum Disorders have a quality camp experience in a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment. Campers enjoy many community-based activities, such as:

A significant part of the camp program is based on community outings, providing plenty of natural teaching opportunities for social skills and life skills. Other features of the camp include a work experience program - 1/2 day per week for senior campers, and an overnight camping experience for all campers at the end of the summer.

Staff ratios for the camp are one staff per every two campers. One-to-one is also available for a limited number of campers.
