Program Description: |
This program is designed specifically for children with developmental disabilities. Participants in the program will receive individual attention with a one-on-one aide at all times during the camp day. Participants will be integrated into camp programming with peers their own age as well as specialty programming for special needs. All special needs campers will have the opportunity to participate in rock climbing, swimming, nature activities, arts and crafts, archery, sports, hiking, field trips, as well as camp activities. Campers should bring with them a bagged lunch, bathing suit, towel, sun screen, and water bottle on a daily basis. Interested parties should contact the Meriden YMCA as soon as possible as spaces are limited. In addition to the regular camp paperwork, all campers in the Special Needs Program are required to be interviewed by a Special Needs Staff member. |
