Communication. Connection. Community.
Building confidence, friendships, and meaningful communication through immersive AAC experiences since 2008.
Commūnicāre’s AAC Camp is a unique summer community where learners who use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), their families, graduate student clinicians, and experienced professionals come together to learn, grow, and connect.
This year is especially meaningful as AAC Camp returns to Holyoke - the community where Commūnicāre first began. Together, we continue a tradition that has inspired learners, supported families, and helped prepare the next generation of communication professionals for nearly two decades.
Whether you are joining us as a family, graduate clinician, staff member, or community partner, welcome. We're glad you're here.
Welcome to
AAC Camp
AAC Camp is more than a summer program.
It is a collaborative learning community where communication happens throughout the day - in conversations, books, games, movement, art, music, recreation, and everyday moments.
Learners experience an environment designed to foster confidence, independence, friendships, and authentic communication. Graduate student clinicians learn alongside experienced mentors while developing practical AAC skills that extend far beyond the classroom. Families become valued partners in the journey, helping us celebrate every learner's unique strengths and communication style.
Together, we create opportunities for every voice to be heard.
