About Us
A Place For Everyone
Camp 1315 started with a simple idea: kids need a place where they can belong.
In 2022, after years of mentoring at-risk youth in Easton, founders Dean and Val Piacentini saw again and again that young people thrive when they have a safe, welcoming place to go and people who genuinely care about them.
When Camp 1315 opened on Sullivan Trail, we thought we were creating a fun place for kids to play, move, explore and connect.
Then something unexpected happened.
Families in the autism and special needs communities began finding us. Parents told other parents. Therapists began bringing children. Homeschool families came. Kids who sometimes struggled in traditional spaces walked through our doors and found a place where they could simply be themselves.
And Camp 1315 began becoming something much bigger than we originally imagined.
Today, we're a place where kids can move, create, build, swing, play and figure things out in their own way. We're also a place where parents meet other parents, friendships form, teenagers hang out, adults gather, and people who may have felt out of place somewhere else can feel at home here.
We didn't set out to become an important part of the autism community. But we couldn't be more grateful that the community chose us.
And we're just getting started.
