Camp Akeela operates a three-and-a-half week sleep-away camp in the Green Mountains of Vermont, offering a traditional camp experience with additional social support for campers who share neurodivergent profiles. The program emphasizes community, friendship, growth, pride, and fun, and includes activities such as arts, outdoor adventure and ropes, athletics, and pool and lakefront aquatics. The camp serves campers seeking a New England camp atmosphere with structured social support, often including individuals diagnosed with ASD or similar profiles, who live in cabins with peers and counselors. Based in Thetford Center, Vermont, the organization centers on providing life-changing summers through a combination of shared living space and a comprehensive activity lineup.
