The General Hospital Corporation

Mass General Brigham relies on a wide range of professionals, including doctors, nurses, business people, tech experts, researchers, and systems analysts to advance our mission. Aspire, a Massachusetts General Hospital program, specializes in helping children, teens and adults on the autism spectrum achieve success. Our programming is uniquely designed to help participants with Asperger profiles develop positive self‑awareness, stress management and social competency skills so they can succeed at home, school, work and in community settings.

Aspire offers year‑round programming for individuals aged 5 years to adults, including weekly social groups, adventure summer camp for children, six‑week summer programs for teens and young adults, and special events. Aspire Adventure Camp is a day camp at Hale Reservation in Westwood serving participants aged 5‑13. The summer program is an immersive experience in which campers are placed into well‑matched groups, with participant‑to‑staff ratios no greater than 3:1.

Participants engage in outdoor education activities, such as hiking and fishing, theme‑based curriculum, such as art or recreation, and skill‑building lessons to support the development of social skills, stress management strategies, and self‑awareness.
