CAMP GONNAWANNAGOAGIN’ 2022
Who: ASD Campers and Volunteers!
Campers must be between the ages of 6-18 years old and have a diagnosis of Autism. Volunteers must be between 10-17 years old.
What: Camp GonnawannaGOagin’- FACT hosts a fun-filled, action-packed day camp in Virginia Beach for individuals ages 6 and up with the primary diagnosis of autism. Camp GonnawannGOagin’ is a haven from the daily struggles of learning, communicating with, and interpreting the world around them. We firmly believe that “children with autism are children first.” Camp GonnawannGOagin’ offers everything a day camp for typical children would offer and activities will be coordinated according to weather and COVID restrictions.

COVID-19 INFORMATION:
As always, we have camper, staff, and volunteer safety in mind and are monitoring all things COVID-19. We will continue to have sanitization, precautions, and cleaning in place to reduce the chance of spreading COVID-19. FACT will encourage all campers to wear a mask, but understand that there are reasons campers may not be able to wear one. This will not hinder their chances to be accepted to camp. Behaviors that involve the spreading of bodily fluids (spitting, toileting behaviors, etc.) may require admission with stricter precautions in place (or may not be able to be admitted at this time).
