“Our son has grown up with North East who have become a second family. Their programs and staff are professional, nurturing and truly help these special kids expand their world. We are grateful to them and all that they do!”

The Warner Family

“It takes a village to raise a child is an African proverb. It means an entire community of people must interact with children for those children to experience and grow in a safe and healthy environment. We love North East for being our village!”

Janet K.

“We feel so grateful to have this opportunity for our son. Not everyone accepts kids who are severely impacted by Autism. My son Arnold has made lifelong friends at North East. He is able to relax and be a kid, which can be a challenge for him. The staff is really caring and able to bring the best out in the campers!”
