William Watson Lodge is a special needs outdoor experience for Alberta residence. The main lodge is a place where people can hold events, borrow activities and equipment, do their laundry, enjoy beautiful mountain views, make coffee, check the weather local trails, make phone calls, etc. Special needs and autism friendly travel.
While exploring Kananaskis in the Canadian Rockies you’ll need to know the local stores, gas stations and restaurants. My autistic kids all enjoyed these stores and we loved getting treats together. The Rocky Mountains in Alberta are breathtaking and a must see for everyones travel bucket list. Special needs and autism friendly travel.
This amazing getaway in the Canadian Rockies provides a fully accessible retreat for those with special needs. Our family of 6 (3 with autism) loves spending time on the paved trails, playground, the lake shore and in the fully stocked cabins. Alberta is truly stunning and should be enjoyed by all.



Hello!
I’m Kate and I’m a mom of four. Since 2010 we’ve had one baby born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate and three children diagnosed with autism. Parenting certainly hasn’t been what I was expecting - it’s been harder (like A LOT harder) and much more wonderful. My world has expanded and knowledge deepened as I’ve spent the last decade raising these four special kids. Supporting other moms of autistic and cleft children is my passion. Here you’ll find information, strategies and first hand experiences to help you navigate these special challenges on-the-go and in your own home.

William Watson Lodge is the perfect autism getaway. It’s meant to give special needs families a place to experience camping and the outdoors while catering to their individual needs. As a parent of 3 autistic kids I love bringing my family to Kananaskis in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Alberta travel and vacations are becoming some of our favourites.
