Camp ALEC is a week-long independent summer camp specifically designed for children with physical disabilities whose primary mode of communication is AAC (augmentative and alternative communication). Our goal is to improve AAC Literacy, Education, and Communication.
The Camp ALEC Emergent Literacy Family Retreat welcomes parents and or caregivers to learn alongside their child whose primary mode of communication is AAC. Together they stay in cabins, with other families creating bonds that can last a lifetime.
Camp ALEC was inspired by Alec Cunningham, who never gave up and whose passion for learning was never extinguished. We wanted Alec to receive the education he deserved. Now, we've directed our passion toward educating as many teachers as possible so that they too can empower children like Alec.
At camp, everyone is family.
“There is nowhere else Jordan would rather be. He feels like himself at camp and has made life-long friendships. I have too.” - Jody Berkshire
