Camp Ruach

Camp Tikvah is the premier autism inclusion/integration summer day camp program of its kind in Western North Carolina. Tikvah enables children on the autism spectrum to enjoy the fun and community of Camp Ruach. Here, campers participate in activities alongside their Camp Ruach counterparts in an individually monitored and supported structure. Each one-week session runs interwoven with Camp Ruach, and enables these awesome kids to participate in as many peer activities as are individually appropriate. To register for Tikvah sign your child up for your chosen weeks of Camp Ruach and select the Tikvah add-on when filling out the enrollment form.
