Dive into an inspiring episode of My Camp with Camp Akeela and its owner and director, Eris Sasson. Camp Akeela is a residential camp in Vermont "where quirky campers thrive!" With camp in their veins, Eric, along with his wife, started Camp Akeela in 2008 after years of summer camp experience between the two of them. Alongside the podcast, Eric has this to say "I love that it's a community where our "quirky" campers can truly belong, connect deeply with a true peer group, be their best selves and grow in profound ways."

The campers at Camp Akeela are excited about a camp experience that supports their social growth. Many have been diagnosed with Asperger’s, ASD 1, NVLD or a similar neurodiverse profile. At Akeela, they truly belong and find lifelong friends. The population of campers is unique because autism spectrum and neurodivergent can mean so many different things. At Camp Akeela, they're passionate about bringing together a group of campers who can thrive in a way that they simply can't in another camp setting.

Dive into a captivating episode of My Camp, where we learn about Camp Lookout and talk to the camp's passionate owner Curtis McFall. Curtis and his wife purchased Camp Lookout, based in Frankfort, Michigan, a little over 10 years ago. Curtis bounced around camps as a kid, but always had summer camp in his heart. After having a "real job" for a few years, he realized he wanted to get back to summer camp. To make a long story longer, they purchased Camp Lookout, and have been building, improving, and holding true to Camp Lookout traditions ever since.

Camp Lookout strives to empower young people through experiential learning. Their programming is camper-led and designed to foster an imaginative environment for kids to play and explore.
