Financially Accessible to All
The Beignet Fest Foundation established Camp Benny in response to the high community need for summertime experiences that accommodate the abilities of autistic youth. We aim to make the camp experience accessible to families regardless of household income by offering financial assistance to campers who qualify for free and reduced lunch assistance during the school year.
