The Town strives to offer an inclusive program within the means and capabilities of trained staff and summer camp guidelines.

Summer Day Camp does not  offer personal  care  or other forms of physical assistance. Participants must be able to  attend  to  all personal,  bathroom,  and hygiene matters independently.

Respite workers hired independently by guardians to accompany participants are solely responsible for the personal and physical needs of the individual. Respite workers must provide the Town with a clear Code of Conduct with a Vulnerable Sector Check completed and will be permitted at the discretion of the Recreation Technician.

Registration Process for Inclusion Services 

1. Please register your child as per the registration process
2. Once you completed registration, please email staff and you will be provided with additional forms that will be required to be completed.
   • Please note that these forms will be required so that staff can determine if we will be able to support the inclusion needs of your child. 

 3.  The town will review all inclusion requests and will do its best to provide one on one inclusion services for          your child that was requested.  This means that we can take one child with inclusion needs per camp. (If          the staff can support the required need)

We want to ensure that anyone requesting inclusion services gets a fun camp experience. Please note you may not get the full number of weeks you request if there are multiple requests for inclusion services for one camp. This will be determined once all registration is complete. Town staff will be in contact to confirm if your requests can be met or not.

• Registration is done on a first-come basis.
• Due to limited space, each individual may only register one family's child / children.
• Inform staff members at the time of registration of any special needs or allergies that your child may have.
