Summer Camps

Behaviour management

Every participant, together with staff, volunteers, and parents/guardians, contribute to the success of the programs and services offered by the Town. In order to provide quality programs and services, please be sure to read through the Participant Code of Behaviour in advance of registering for camp programs.

Inclusion supports at camp

If your child receives additional support in school, it’s likely that they will require support in the camp environment.

Formal school supports may include:

• Individualized Education Plan
• Behaviour Safety Plan
• Educational Assistant (EA) support
• Modified programming or schedule

Consider, does your child receive support at school or in community settings for any of the following:

• Managing emotional reactions and emotional regulation
• Managing physical reactions (hitting, pushing, leaving program space) when upset/frustrated
• Remaining in the program space
• Transitioning safely between spaces (ie. walking from gym to the pool)
• Require assistance with feeding or going to the washroom, including hygiene care (i.e., wiping, changing into a bathing suit, one to one supervision or hand over hand with eating).

If your participant requires any of these supports at school or in community settings, it is recommended that you consider inclusion support services.

For participants who require additional supports to participate in camp, see the options below and go to the Inclusion Programs webpage for further details.

Medical forms

Please let us know about any medical concerns (medications, allergies, EpiPen, etc.,) by completing a Medical Information Form prior to the start of camp. When bringing medications to camp, please make sure to provide us with one day’s dosage each morning in its original container. EpiPens and/or inhalers must be brought in a separate fanny pack that all children must wear at all times. Children 6 and over must wear on their person, at all times. Leaders will carry Epipens and/or inhalers of children 5 years and younger
