The Arc of
McLennan County  
provides care and
support for persons
and the families
affected by autism,
mental retardation and
developmental
disabilities.

Each summer the Arc
offers an 8-week day
camp for children with
disabilities, including
a unique and
specialized curriculum
for children with
autism.

Many parents would
not be able to
continue working
during the summer if it
were not for the Arc
Summer Day Camp.

The Arc camp enables
parents to know that
quality care is being
provided for their
children during the
summer months. For
