M	Mena Robin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Please do not send your children here. The people who run this place are some of the most money hungry people I have ever encountered who pry off of our children's disabilities. They are threatening, rude and most importantly not qualified in my opinion to be taking care of our vulnerable children. The 'counsellers' assigned to care for the kids are the fun clubs are teenagers, most of whom look like they have no desire to be there and lake empathy towards the kids. I can't believe the amount of good reviews after experiencing what I did.
D	David Greenall on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ CAR is an amazing organization - one that provides a critical service to the autism community in Ottawa. Their staff is qualified, professional, enthusiastic and always looking out for the best interests of our children. Highly recommend Camp Kaleidoscope, Saturday Fun Club, and all of the activities that CAR hosts.
W	William Pocock on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Our grandsons have been attending Children at Risk events for the past eight years. Camp Kaleidoscope is the highlight of their summer. The camp staff are well trained and totally engaged and connected with the kids. The office staff are professional and courteous. I continually recommend this camp to everyone I meet who has a child on the spectrum.
L	Linda Kwasnick on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have been very pleased with the various services provided by Children at Risk. The staff are very knowledgeable, professional and accommodating. Not only did my son have fun while learning valuable social skills, he made new friends. On several occasions he made "play dates" outside of the program with his new buddy, something that never happened at school - it certainly warmed my heart to see him welcomed and be part of a group, rather the the child that was always the loner on the outside. Thank you to a great organization that has made such a positive impact on the life of a vulnerable child on the spectrum.
M	Mark Lalonde on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We have used the services of Children at Risk for the past 14 years and the summer camp since it began in 2011. The staff and workers are all extremely professional and caring. We have always felt that our child was safe and well cared for in any of the programs offered by Children at Risk. The charity receives their funding through fundraising efforts. This often involves long hours and the recruitment of many volunteers. This allows the programs to be offered at a subsidized rate, so many families can benefit from the programs offered. I could not be more pleased with the fantastic service provided by Brenda, Bambina, Hazel and all the other staff.
T	Tim McGinn on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ These people are amazing! They have Summer day camps and the rest of the year they have biweekly day camps for kids with disabilitiesThey provide 1 to 1 supervision for my son who has autism he is 6'7" and they not intimidated. They know how to handle all situations and very rarely call us if he is having an "off" day. They just know what to do. All the councilors say Hi to him by name when he arrives. They are very patient with parents who are not always nice or patient. I could go on for pages with examples of how fantastic they are and would struggle to list any problems.
G	Gillian Irvine on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My go to for all things autism. Respite, camps, sibling groups and all 1:1 ratio. Safe, clean, positive, just the most helpful and wonderful place! Many updates for covid but very safe and sanitized.
R	Rachelle Arcaro on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have been involved with CAR for many, many years with my 2 Autistic boys. Brenda, Bambina, Hazel and the rest of the CAR staff are wonderful! Both boys love their summer camps and March Break camp. My youngest also regularly attends the Saturday Fun Club. We have even had our typical daughter at their Date Night where they look after all siblings so Mom and Dad can get a break. Teaching and looking after Autistic children is no small feat, and I commend the work that they all do there. I always recommend CAR to anyone looking for Autistic support as they offer a lot more than just 1:1 camp care - they now also offer a 2 times a week food bank, and when Covid wasn’t around we also received many free tickets to Senators games, 67’s even great concerts like a Keith Urban, Michael Bublé and floor seats to Corey Hart! Will always recommend Children at Risk - check them out, you’ll be glad that you did.
