KindTree-Autism Rocks is a grassroots organization based in Eugene that enhances and celebrates lives in the autism community.
In 1997, two group home workers, determined to remedy their clients’ lack of meaningful activities, envisioned a place where people could experinece the woods, relax, and get comfortable with themselves in a new way. This effort has grown into a summer weekend family camp serving over 240, a skills training program serving a hundred more, and the beginings of a true Community. KindTree - Autism Rocks provides support, services, and information to empower and improve the quality of life for individuals and families living with autism, and the professionals who serve them. From its inception, this “grass roots” all volunteer nonprofit has maintained its focus on serving and celebrating people on the autism spectrum through art, education, recreation, and community.
With warm hearted whimsy, an open sense of family and a deep level of caring, we reach within ourselves to embrace our flaws, gather our strengths, and offer our love, while reaching out to people on the autism spectrum, their families and caregivers, and to our community at large. Through the power of self-advocacy in an atmosphere of acceptance and respect, autistic and neuro-typical people alike can work toward self-realization.
