UTSA’s Camp Durango fills service gap for families with autistic children
In the waning days of summer, the downtown campus at the University of Texas at San Antonio has been alive with

families and caretakers found at Camp Durango on Wednesday are all too rare.

summer camp. Camp Durango is a summer day camp for children and youth with autism and for their siblings. The goal of the program is to have campers participate in research while they take part in fun camp activities.
