n Testimonials
“The Arc of the Ozarks No Limits Summer Camp is a
wonderful program that is critical to parents of kids with
Autism. My son has Asperger’s and is also considered a
flight risk, which makes him unable to attend any other
local program. Without this camp my son must stay at
home for the entire summer until school starts back up in
August. With him at home, as a single parent I am unable
to go to work. More importantly, let me tell you what the
No Limits Summer Camp does for my son. It gives him
socialization over the summer he wouldn’t otherwise have,
the opportunity to make new friends and work on his social
skills/calming techniques. This camp has taught him how to
swim, build his self-esteem, self-confidence and even more
importantly, learn how to handle stressful situations out in
the community with large groups of people. There aren’t
enough words to describe the incredible work this camp
does and we would be lost without it.”
