Falaise Fun Finders - Supported Day Camp

Registration is only available to participants who have been pre approved and hold an Adapted Recreation Pass. To learn more or to apply for a Recreation Support Plan, please contact access.services@vancouver.ca or call 604 718 8270.

This is one of four available Supported Day Camp sites across the city.

Supported Day Camps provide children with diverse needs the opportunity to participate in a recreation day camp with peers their own age. Day Camp Leaders and Support Staff modify activities and encourage children to participate to the best of their abilities. The focus of this camp is to support children in having fun and connecting with others.

This is a shared support program, meaning there will be Support Staff who are available to float between campers who are registered in a Supported Day Camp.

Prior to registering for a camp, please consider whether your child is group ready. A child is considered group ready when they can participate safely in a camp setting with a group of peers, either independently or with some extra support. Support typically available includes general assistance such as reminders, simple prompts, visual cues, help with transitions, and encouragement to participate. Group ready campers are able to follow basic safety instructions, stay with the group with minimal prompting, and engage in activities with the level of support typically available in the program.

Renfrew reserves the right to re-evaluate a participant's registration if:

• The participant's needs cannot be safely met.

• The participant poses a danger to themselves or others.

• Staff are unable to provide the level of care necessary for a participant's safe and successful program experience.

• The participant's medical, physical or behavioural condition is significantly different to what was disclosed.

IMPORTANT NOTES, PLEASE READ:

• Support is limited to a maximum of two weeks per child.

• If your camper has been recognised by Access Services as needing 1:1 support through your Recreation Support Plan, please apply register for Access Services 1:1 Support through the corresponding week of camp.

(You will need to be registered in a camp activity before applying for 1:1 support.)

• Personal care cannot be performed by Support staff.
