Focus on inclusive environment
For your child to have their best day camp experience, please tell us of any needs that could impact their participation when you register. If your child requires more support than we can provide a day camp supervisor will request you, the parent/guardian, to provide a support worker/aide to attend camp with your child.
If your child has severe physical mobility issues, we share space with the Disabled Sailing Association (DSA). Contact them directly for more information about their programs.
