KindTree - Autism Rocks

Every year, we at KindTree are incredibly grateful for the dedicated efforts of our wonderful volunteer team. We truly appreciate the time and energy they invest in the camp, and we recognize that their experience and commitment are invaluable.

We would like to especially acknowledge Melissa and Ericka for their hard work in helping to bring Camp 2026 to fruition. Your guidance, kindness, and wisdom are deeply appreciated, and they play a significant role in making each year’s camp a memorable and special experience.

Hi there folks, I am holding a parent group zoom meeting tonight at 5:00 pm following the interest from camp. Tonight we have no agenda so we will talk and get to know one another and settle on a monthly time. Join us if you can but it you can’t this month we will be having parent group monthly meetings when we settle on the date and time
