People might be able to be more helpful if you give a geographical area.

My kiddo is autistic, verbal, reading, and doesn’t have significant behavior problems…


This is a tough one OP - so many of the camps require or assume that the child is toilet trained. You may still have time to get them there but it might also make sense to avoid that stress/conflict if they just aren't ready and skip camp this year. Good luck!

Call the Kennedy Institute and see if they would accept your child for the summer: https://www.catholiccharitiesdc.org/childdevelopment/

Where do you live? Mine loved Dolley Madison in McLean at that age.

You should focus on toilet training this summer.
