The Central Coast Autism Spectrum Center began in 2007, when a group of parents came together searching for a local summer camp where their children could thrive. From that need, Camp Expedition was created. What started as a single program quickly grew into a community movement—raising awareness, building support, and expanding opportunities for autistic individuals and their families.

Today, CCASC provides programs, services, and support throughout the entire lifespan, because autism does not stop at childhood—and neither does our commitment. We serve the whole family, recognizing that autism impacts everyone differently and every journey is unique.

In addition to supporting families, CCASC offers training, education, and outreach for professionals in our community. Many professionals work alongside autistic individuals but may not know how to best support them or recognize their strengths. Through education and collaboration, we help build more inclusive environments where autistic children and adults can be understood and empowered.

Our focus areas include: Camp Expedition, Annual WALK for Autism & Resource Fair, Network Groups, Monthly Social Programs for All Ages and Professional Outreach and Training.
