Summer Clubs at HLC!
HLC Summer Clubs are offered to students, ages 15 - 22, in our community who are on the autism spectrum and meet our Criteria for Admission. The goal is for every student to experience COMMUNITY, build SKILLS, and develop CONNECTIONS at a club. Space is limited, and students must be independent to attend. We do NOT offer 1:1 support. Registered students will receive an HLC T-shirt on their first day.
