This list of possible summer activities for families was developed to generate some ideas for summer fun and inclusion. Activities on the list do not imply any endorsement by the West Autism Training Center. Many activities listed are low cost or no cost.

Remember to check your local libraries, YMCA, and Boys and Girls Clubs; they usually have fun summer activities planned for all ages. North Bend Rail goes through numerous counties and can offer hours of fun outdoor time with various activities.

At the bottom of this document are extension offices. You may contact them for information for Clover buds, 4-H, Energy Express, Youth Volunteers and other activities that they host throughout WV. Link for their website: https://extension.wvu.edu/
