EG inclusion one-on-one support is not a camp, it is a support service for campers who may need additional assistance. EG attempts to accommodate requests for additional support for participants with disabilities. However, due to the number of requests or level of care provided, support cannot be guaranteed. Accommodations are subject to health, safety, and cost considerations.
We may only be able to provide your family with support for up to two weeks at this time.
To apply for inclusion support, first register for one of our programs that meets the needs, hobbies, age and interests of the participant. Then, connect with our Inclusion Services team to assist with filling out our required All About Me Form.
Families may provide their own support (family member, friend, trained support worker or social worker) with a Vulnerable Sector Screening and a signed release of liability form for these individuals. The support person is required to participate in all activities as a positive role model for the participants and adhere to EG's Policies and Procedures.
| How do I know if additional support is needed? |
|
Additional support is required if:
Families are required to complete an All About Me Package and provide a Safety Plan, if the participant has one, to help program staff with any program adaptations. When considering recreation experience, please consider the individuals needs, and that the recreation inclusive setting may not be suitable for all persons. The health and safety of participants and staff is paramount, which could result in participants being denied access to the program. |
