Exploring UTSA’s Camp Durango

Every summer, UTSA hosts Camp Durango for children aged 5 and up diagnosed with

or at risk for autism, along with their siblings. The camp is held in the Durango building

at the UTSA downtown campus.

Camp Durango is a grant-funded research project at The University of Texas at San

Antonio. Campers participate in various research projects led by UTSA faculty and staff.

These studies are integrated into fun, summer day camp activities, focusing on

enhancing social communication, adaptive skills, leisure skills, and addressing

challenging behaviors.

I have the opportunity to visit this year and will share my insights soon. In the meantime,
