Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 We went to Darango, Colorado. My son is 14 and loves trains, storms, and Nascar. We went on the Silverton Narrow Gage Railroad trip. It was a 4 hour ride to Silverton then another back. RJ, my son had a blast and enjoyed the train. If anyone wants to try it take the trip up to Silverton then the bus back, 8 hours was a long time to be enclosed. We took the open air carriage and RJ had a great time making fun of his mom covered in soot. Yes it is a steam engine and be prepared to get dirty. We created a wonderful memory and I would recomend this trip to anyone that has an Autistic child with an obsession with trains. > > Has anyone gone on any really great vacations this summer?

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Yellowstone is fun, and you should plan on visiting or staying in the Grand Tetons while in the area. On the topic of vacations, I'm about to head back to AZ for Kris' Camp, a week-long intensive therapy camp for children with autism. Kris' Camp is a non-profit organization lead by a group of dedicated therapists from around the country. Children on the spectrum receive individualized therapies from 8:30 am until 2:30 pm, while their siblings attend sibling camp (perfect for young children) and parents can enjoy a much deserved break from it all. The AZ camp is held in Oak Creek Canyon just north of Sedona. Kris' Camp also holds camps in CA, CT and FL. I will be speaking with them about potentially expanding next year in TX. I am new to Austin and am looking for ideas for locations that would be suitable. In AZ the camp is held at a place called Don Hoels Cabins. There are just enough cabins to house the participating families and the therapists. There is a recreational area used for therapies and group meals. It's a beautiful location with plenty of hiking, fishing, or shopping in Sedona nearby. You can learn more about Kris' Camp at www.kriscamp.org. In addition to finding a great location for camp, I hope to generate interest among families who might want to attend. Please feel free to call or email me with suggestions or questions.

Have any of you gone to Yellowstone or any other national parks? Did you know you can get a Golden Access card and the whole family can get in for free to any national park?

We went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Roaring Camp (was that in Felton just outside of Santa Cruz?), we also went to the Santa Cruz Beach and Boardwalk my son initially had some difficulty with the noise/echoes but enjoyed it after adjusting, also the Mystery Spot in Branciforte in the foothills of Santa Cruz cool-weird place (all of these attractions are in California about 75-100 miles south of San Francisco). We did these things without special passes because we wanted to see if my son could tolerate it without special considerations and he did okay, my poor mother on the other hand needed help getting through all the many, many exhibits at the Aquarium because she has rheumatoid arthritis and it proved to be too much walking for her but the place had wheel chairs. I would be interested to know of fun places and attractions between San and Houston/to Galveston that are ASD-kid friendly since there's not much summer time left before school starts back.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 We went to the Grand Canyon in 2004 and the park employee at the entrance gave my son a lifetime pass for free. He asked who was diabled and we explained that he had autism. He then wrote him a lifetime pas good for the National Parks and the Coprsof Engineers parks.
