Are you thinking about a summer camp for your child?

Come join us for a summer camp planning workshop! This workshop is designed to give parents the information they need to plan a successful summer camp experience for a child with special needs.

In this free parent workshop, you will learn about:

• How to find inclusive and specialized camps in your community

• The different types of inclusion supports available and how to access them

• Funding options for camp fees and specialized supports

• Sharing information about your child

• Preparing your child for camp

• City of Kitchener and City of Waterloo summer camps and inclusion supports

This workshop is intended for families who have children with special needs as well as service providers who support families to navigate camp and recreation opportunities. This workshop will be presented by Olivia Curtis (Inclusion Services Coordinator for Kitchener and Waterloo) and Meg Shirley (Recreation Therapist at KidsAbility).

Please join us for this live workshop over zoom. Registrants will receive a Zoom link via email the morning of the workshop.
