Learning Disabilities Organizations
Camp Kirk
Oakville, ON
Camp Kirk is a specialized summer camp where neurodivergent kids and youth can truly thrive. By focusing on small-group environments, non-competitive programming, and individual strengths, we provide a safe space for campers to discover their unique potential. Our programs serve participants aged 7 to 18 who think and act 'out of the box.' While a formal diagnosis is not required, the majority of our campers live with ADHD, Autism, Learning Disabilities, Tourette's, Anxiety, or Sensory Processing challenges. Programs include Overnight Summer Camp and Leader-In-Training (LIT) for youth aged 14 to 18. We fundraise year-round to subsidize camper fees and offer additional financial aid to ensure cost is never a barrier.
