Experience Summer

Our Experience Summer program provides the opportunity for children, 4-12 years of age who have a disability/disabilities, to attend a summer recreation program.  We strive to provide two weeks, through the summer, of full day camp attendance for each child. Children participating will be offered support  by qualified and  trained support workers.  Ratios of  one support worker to one child, or one support worker to two children  will be provided depending on the specific needs of each child.  This allows children to  actively participate in a summer day camp, of their choice, with their peers. The Program creates lasting friendships and memories.
