Wahode is Dakotah for "explore." There are three full-day sessions that offer many ways to discover, grow and have fun. Staff to camper ratio for all three day camp sessions is 1:2.  All sessions are staffed with autism specialists. Campers provide their own lunch and transportation.  No physical is required to attend day camp. This camp is ideal as a first step toward, or in addition to, attending Camp Hand in Hand.

Registrations for all day camps are filled on a first come, first served basis.

Session II & III are designed for children ages 7 - 12 and held in partnership with the Jewish Community Center at Camp Butwin in Eagan. Outdoor activities include swimming in a heated outdoor pool, horseback riding, use of a ropes course and climbing tower, yoga and arts and crafts.

Session I focuses on the arts. Staff members include a board certified music therapist and an occupational therapist. Visual picture schedules will be used to integrate music therapy, social interaction, sensory exploration, art, yoga and movement.  Activities, geared for children ages 6 - 12, take place primarily in an indoor setting.
