Many families with special needs children long to connect with others in person-but too often, they experience isolation and a lack of opportunities to socialize with others who share a similar experience.​

 

CoPEC’s Family Summer Camp is changing that!​

 

In July 2026 we will host our first summer camp at the Anchor Point Lodge on the shores of Lake Tahoe in California, a place where the whole family can recharge, spend quality time together, relax, learn, have fun with other families, and build lasting friendships.

A New Communication Model

We teach a compassionate communication model that is based on the science of neuroplasticity. We bring this approach to life throughout our camp, creating an immersive environment where families can learn, practice, and grow together. By spending a whole week in community, parents have time to integrate this new communication style and become confident and empowering leaders for their children.

A.A., San Leandro, CA

Both our children, 7 and 9 years old, have autism. They have been receiving NeuroMovement lessons at COPEC for the past 2.5 months. Right after the first lessons, we noticed remarkable changes. They were both more present, calmer, and responsive. They seemed to understand when we spoke to them, and they carried out requests without repeated prompting. My son’s speech has improved a lot.  His pronunciation is much clearer, and he makes sense. Gabrielle also helped us establish a much earlier bedtime. Both children sleep better and longer now. We parents get to enjoy personal time in the evening after the kids are in bed. After many years of behavioral therapy, we found something that makes a difference. Our lives have improved so much since we started at CoPEC. It’s been a huge relief, and we are very grateful for the movement lessons and parent coaching we received.
