Camp FRIEND 2026 – Camper Interest Form
The Autism Society of Mahoning Valley is now accepting submissions for the 2026 Camp FRIEND Season. Families interested in enrolling their child must complete the interest form to begin the application process.
After submission, our Camp Director will review each application. Acceptance notifications will be sent via email, and you may be contacted with follow-up questions regarding your child’s needs. Please respond promptly to any calls or texts to avoid delays. Once accepted, families will be required to complete a full camper registration form. Please allow up to one month for acceptance confirmation, as we carefully plan staffing to best support all campers.
