In a recent government meeting, a local representative highlighted a proposal aimed at revitalizing Camp Curry, a facility currently underutilized and in need of attention. The representative shared insights from a meeting with a constituent who is an expert in autism, having studied under a renowned international authority in childhood autism and treatments.

The proposal suggests transforming Camp Curry into a camp that incorporates best practices for youth with autism, addressing a significant gap in resources for this community. The representative expressed a desire to collaborate with staff to explore the feasibility of this initiative, noting that some existing buildings may need to be demolished due to their poor condition.

Additionally, the representative pointed out a lack of communication regarding the future plans for Camp Curry, mentioning that they had not received a briefing on the matter. The representative also acknowledged the financial support from the Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO), which had previously contributed funds to the facility.

This initiative reflects a growing recognition of the need for specialized programs and facilities for individuals with autism, aiming to enhance their quality of life and provide essential support. Further discussions with relevant departments are anticipated to determine the next steps for this promising proposal.
