Camp Connect is a week-long summer day camp program for all children, including those with autism or other disabilities, from ages 11 to 14. The purpose of Camp Connect is for children with behavior or learning support needs to have fun while connecting with other children.

Camp Connect is a partnership between the University of Arkansas Special Education Program and Crystal Bridges.

The program is free for all participants, but advanced registration is required. Register online by May 17, 2024, to attend.
