Camp Grey Squirrel

"Oklahoma's first camp for kids with autism spectrum disorders, including Asperger's. Three types of camps: Resident Camps, Day Camps and weekend family camps. Camp Grey Squirrel is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization.
Description
Resident Camps - archery, equine assisted learning, fishing, swimming,
Home Depot Workshops, other crafts, Squirrel Olympics, great food at Soda Steve's, low ropes and other team building activities, star gazing, bon fire and smores, hay rides, nature hikes, blazing and following a trail, digital photography, special guests, etc.

Weekend camps: Mom & Me in April and Fall Family Camp in September -
Archery, fishing, horseback rides, inflatables, Home Depot Workshops, crafts, hay rides, banana boats, great food, and more.

Day Camps - archery, fishing, swimming, Home Depot Workshops, other crafts, Squirrel Olympics, hay rides, banana boats, hay rides, special guests, and more.
Activities vary from session to session."

This camp has been in business since 2009. I wish I had known about it sooner.  As of this am on June 12, 2014, there were still openings.  The cost for a week residential camp is under a $1000.  Which is a steal considering out the state of Oklahoma camps.
