ADVENTURES IN ART See what this camp has to offer by watching our video at http://bit.ly/summercamps-2018

Creative expression is an essential part of a child’s development! Campers will explore the world of art in a hands-on setting. With plenty of opportunities to get creative, campers will use their imagination to paint, create and build to their heart’s desire using traditional and non-traditional materials. The creative mind does what it wants, so we must warn you that things may get a little messy!

This summer, come play on with us! This recreational camp provides campers a unique focus each week and the opportunity to enjoy daily activities with both active and creative options. Twice a week, campers will be adventurous at The Waterpark where they can swim in the pools, float down the lazy river or race down the waterslides. Every Wednesday and Friday are an opportunity to explore some place new. As the campers come together to play, friendships will develop and strengthen beyond this summer.

BOYS ROCK! GIRLS RULE! See what this camp has to offer by watching our video at http://bit.ly/summercamps-2018

Boys and girls alike are very impressive! This camp will prove why boys rock and girls rule as campers get dirty on the sports field and primp like a princess. But when campers come together as one, they’ll see how strong they can be and find out more about themselves than they knew existed. Within this camp, everybody will learn how to both rock and rule.

SCIENCE OF SUMMER See what this camp has to offer by watching our video at http://bit.ly/summercamps-2018

Science is everywhere and it is SO COOL! Campers will learn hands-on, scientific methods with an emphasis on fun. They’ll conduct experiments, watch demonstrations and make take-home projects that reinforce each week’s focus. This camp tends to get a little messy, so be sure to send your child(ren) in appropriate attire for when they get hands-on with science.

Inclusion Statement, Modifications & Eligibility Criteria INCLUSION STATEMENT Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation’s Summer Camp Series (SCS) program is committed to being an inclusive program. Our inclusion model allows campers of many different ability levels to join our SCS program. Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation (CCPR) is committed to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) through making reasonable modifications as required by the ADA. In addition, CCPR is dedicated to non-discrimination in the provision of programs, services, and activities to the public.

ESSENTIAL ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Campers must meet our essential eligibility requirements, which are: • Comply with the age policy for the respective camp. The cutoff date for a camper’s age is September 1, 2019 or a camper’s age on the first day of the camp week.

• Secure enrollment via payment-in-full or partial payment plan at the time of enrollment.

• Enroll for the respective camp week prior to the camp week reaching maximum capacity.

• Safety of each and every participant is our top priority. If, with supports provided by Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation (CCPR), a participant harms self or others, or demonstrates that he or she cannot participate in our program safely, CCPR may decline the camp enrollment, or if currently participating, temporarily suspend participation.

ENROLLMENT PROCESS When enrolling your child/ward in a SCS program the question below is required to complete the enrollment process.

• Will my child/ward need a modification because of a disability to succeed in this program?

• YES or NO • CCPR welcomes people with disabilities in all programs. For campers that have answered “YES”, CCPR staff will schedule an assessment. In the assessment, CCPR will gather information about disability or health conditions, including but not limited to IEPs, 504 plans, and other plans useful at other agencies.

• If it is determined in the assessment that supports are required for your child/ward, CCPR staff will plan and provide supports.

Participation in a CCPR program may begin once a plan is in place and CCPR staff have been trained.

• An assessment may take time to complete. The earlier CCPR staff know a camper may need a modification, the more likely program participation may begin the day the program starts.

For more info on modifications and supports please contact Aimee Rich, Inclusion Supervisor, at 317.843.3866 or arich@carmelclayparks.com.

MAKING MODIFICATIONS BASED ON CAMPER DISABILITIES CCPR recognizes the need to make reasonable modifications for campers, based on their disability or health condition. We adhere to an eight-step inclusion process. Those steps are: 1. Invite persons with disabilities to register for inclusive participation, alongside persons without disabilities, in CCPR camps.

2. Use the CCPR SCS enrollment form that asks whether the registrant needs a modification based on disability.

3. Conduct an assessment that matches the ability of the camper with planned camp activities, for the purpose of determining what supports are necessary for safe and enjoyable participation.

4. Prepare a plan for how those supports will be implemented by CCPR, whether by employee, volunteer, or contractor.

5. Provide CCPR staff with any training necessary to implement the plan.

6. Maintain ongoing communication with camper parents/guardians or caregivers.

7. Implement the plan and conduct both summative and formative evaluations of the plan implementation.

18 | REGISTER ONLINE AT CARMELCLAYPARKS.COM

MODIFICATIONS AND PERSONAL SUPPORTS CCPR distinguishes between modifications and personal supports for persons with disabilities. CCPR will make reasonable modifications.

CCPR will provide the following supports in camps: • Adjust established procedures • Adaptive equipment, after an assessment determines it is necessary • Sign language interpreters • Other means of communication between staff, participant, and family that are effective • Transportation (e.g. accessible bus) • Additional training for CCPR staff • Reduced staff-to-camper ratio for a camper, after an assessment determines it is necessary • Behavior intervention plans and supports • Monitor blood sugar, and when necessary, facilitate the administration of insulin by pump, syringe, or other means • Where needed due to mobility limitations of a camper, an accessible facility

CCPR reserves the right to refuse to provide a modification when that modification fundamentally alters the nature of the camp (i.e. moving an outdoor, nature-based hiking camp to an indoor camp is likely to be a fundamental alteration).

While CCPR does provide additional staffing support (if and when determined by the assessment), staff members may be responsible for more than one participant in a group setting.

Participants may propose to provide a person at their expense, to facilitate participation by a camper with a disability. That person must pass the criminal background check requirements for CCPR camp staff members and volunteers, must meet CCPR dress code requirements, and must meet all other qualification requirements of CCPR.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS There are times when a camp does not fit a camper. It may be because: • The camper does not like the camp activities (e.g. swimming, sports, or trips).

• The camper lacks the conditioning for intense camps, such as competitive sports camp, or outdoor hiking camps.

• The camper has a health condition that limits participation in activities of a long duration.

• The CCPR staff have yet to, with the family, find the right plan to facilitate participation.

• CCPR staff have not yet reached agreement with the family on a support plan for the camper.

Whenever such a circumstance arises, CCPR reserves the right to delay the start of participation, or temporarily suspend a camper, until CCPR and the family can develop a plan that assures safe and enjoyable participation for all campers.

CONCLUSION CCPR’s Summer Camp Series welcomes campers of many different ability levels, and strives to produce an exciting, positive and safe program. Our goal is to make camp rewarding for each and every camper. For general questions about our camp processes, please call Aimee Rich, Inclusion Supervisor at 317.843.3866 or Ben Johnson, Summer Camp Series Director at 317.573.5240.
