The Autism Society SWLA provides activities designed to include autism community members and their families throughout the year for 6 parishes. We have brighter, quieter movies, sensory Sunday's at Chuck E Cheese and other events, as well. Our largest is Camp Hopen, an overnight camp for autism members and up to 2 caregivers. It is free to them but our organization is charged. The average cost is $300 per camper. We bundle and resale donated Mardi Gras beads back to the Krewes to help cover the costs. Currently we have 2 climate controlled storage units full of beads that NEED to be sorted and several orders already in place claiming them. We have the beads but need the sorting.
