Read this firstCamps fill up — some by early spring — and dates, prices, and age ranges change every year. Treat the costs below as a rough guide, not a promise. Every camp here was real and running as of 2026, but always confirm this year’s details on the camp’s own page before you count on a spot.
The City of Atlanta’s long-running summer day camp, with a therapeutic track for campers with special needs — adapted recreation, arts, and swimming. This is the most affordable option on the list by a wide margin, and financial hardship assistance and a multi-child discount are available.
About $35/week for Atlanta residents ($110 non-residents). Summer 2026 runs roughly June 8–July 24, weekdays. Registration is through the city’s iParcs system — an interview may be required for the therapeutic track.
A weekend getaway at Camp Twin Lakes where your whole family comes along — canoeing, fishing, horseback riding, archery, arts and crafts — with parent-only sessions built in for caregivers. Because families supervise their own kids, it can host campers who aren’t ready for solo camp yet. A gentle first taste of camp.
Around $175 per family (up to 5 people). Run by Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta’s Marcus Autism Center — a name worth knowing in this city. Great if your son isn’t ready to be dropped off alone.
The sleepaway version, for kids with autism who are verbally fluent and can handle their own self-care (bathing, dressing). A week of traditional overnight-camp activities in a supportive, accepting environment — a real milestone for a kid ready to try it.
Donor-supported, so cost is low — check the page for this year’s details. Note the eligibility: verbally fluent and independent with self-care. Best for older or more independent campers.
An inclusive day camp in Acworth (north metro) for kids with or without disabilities — horseback riding, fishing, gardening, cooking, music, arts and crafts. Every day is structured with multiple activity choices, and the camp is built around ample staff support for every camper.
North-metro location, so factor in the drive from College Park. Structured days with lots of support — good for kids who do better with a clear routine.
A sensory-friendly kids’ gym built specifically with autistic and neurodivergent kids in mind — swings, climbing, and sensory equipment — that also runs camps and open-play sessions. A good lower-pressure option for younger children, or for a half-day when a full week feels like too much.
In Roswell (north metro). Offers day camps plus drop-in open play, so you can try it once before committing to a full camp week.

How this list was madeThese organizations come from autism resource events and our own community research. We’ve checked that each link works, but we haven’t personally vetted every service — always confirm insurance, eligibility, and fit before you commit. If something here isn’t the right match, no problem; it’s a starting point.
