Happy New Year! 🎆🎉🎇

As we step into 2026, we’re filled with gratitude for everything that brought us here — and excitement for what’s ahead. With our upcoming merger with The Arc of Story County, we’re entering this next chapter stronger together and ready to continue supporting autistic youth in new and meaningful ways.

We’re so thankful for our campers, families, staff, and supporters who make this work possible, and we can’t wait to see what we build together next!
