Camp Rising Sun

Posted on 05:42 by Unknown
Autism Light #65 is Camp Rising Sun.

Camp Rising Sun is a camp program for children with autism in New Mexico.  The camp is held at the Manzano Mountain Retreat in the Manzano Moutains southeast of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Camp Rising Sun is an Autism Light because of the helpful way in which they are helping children with autism to have a camping experience.

Camp Rising Sun was formed in 2006 and in 2009 it's programs became part of the autism programs at the University of New Mexico Center for Development and Disability.  The camp is accredited by the American Camp Association.  It's mission involves the three tier approach of providing life-changing camp experiences to children with autism, providing practical training on working with young people with autism to camp staff and volunteers, and giving respite for parents of children with autism.

Here is a Camp Rising Sun's promo video for the 2011 season.



Camp Rising Sun states on their website that their "Camp activities may include swimming, hiking, sports and games, arts & crafts, theater, photography and video, geo-caching, music, campouts, nature activities, campfires, low and high ropes and challenge course, martial arts, campfire and evening programs, and a variety of other activities."  They have two weeks of camp.  One week is a Teen Camp and the other is a Kids Camp.  Registrations for 2012 are accepted beginning in January, 2012. The 2012 dates have been set as follows:


  • Teen Camp - June 25-29, 2012
  • Kids Camp - July 29-Aug. 2, 2012


  • There is an inspirational story about a camper's experience at Camp Rising Sun that Dennis J. Carroll wrote for the Santa Fe New Mexican in July, 2009.  For more information on Camp Rising Sun, including financial aid forms and camper or staff application forms visit the camp's website at this link..

    Autism Light honors diverse heroes to the world of autism.
