Good Things to Know West Suburban Special Recreation Association

WSSRA provides outstanding opportunities through recreation for individuals with disabilities. In certain circumstances, additional support staff called "Inclusion Partners" are recruited and trained to assist an individual with a disability within the Park District setting. All participants must be able to meet the essential eligibility requirements of the particular program or camp, with or without reasonable accommodation. Eligibility requirements can be found in program guides, registration materials, codes of conduct, on the website, and through various other means of communication. You are encouraged to call the Park District with any questions on essential eligibility criteria. Families registering participants with disabilities and special needs should make sure to timely identify any special needs or request for reasonable accommodation on the registration form. WSSRA requires a 2-week minimum notice for requests to facilitate successful inclusion. Brochures with more information can be picked up at The Depot, 401 Thatcher Avenue. If you have any questions regarding the inclusion process, please feel free to contact WSSRA's Inclusion Coordinator at 847-455-2100.

Camp Refund Policy

1) Refund requests for camps must be received one week before the camp meets to be eligible for a refund. 2) A $10 cancellation fee will be applied to any refunded amount per child/per camp. 3) No refunds will be given if a participant is removed due to the violation of the Park Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4-Point Discipline Policy or due to disciplinary issues.

Code of Conduct: 4-Point Discipline Policy

It is our intention to provide your child with a safe and secure environment. We attempt to create a warm, comfortable, and fun atmosphere that will make your child look forward to coming to camp each day. In order to ensure the quality of this program and safety of the campers, each participant must follow program rules.

4-Point Discipline Policy

Campers are encouraged to practice those social skills that will allow them to resolve conflicts and meet their needs without the use of harmful or destructive behaviors. When disciplinary situations occur that require intervention, an adult provides the child with clear explanations as to why specific behavior is inappropriate. They then help him/her find alternative behavior that fits within the camp guidelines of appropriate behavior. These guidelines revolve around concerns for the safety of all participants in camp. If the camp staff encounters behavior problems with any participant, he/she will first attempt to resolve the problem with the camper. If this fails, the Camp Supervisor will be consulted, followed by the parents. There is a strict 4-Point Discipline Policy. If a camper gets 2 Written Warnings during the summer, he/she will be dismissed from the program. Every parent/ guardian is required to read the following information to his/her camper and sign and return the 4-Point Discipline Policy Form to camp. (This must be on file prior to the start of camp.)

NUT-FREE ZONE

All camp sites have been designated NUT-FREE. We are requesting your cooperation in partnering with us to ensure a safe environment for children with nut allergies. Parents with children that have a nut allergy are requested to notify the Park District as soon as possible by completing an Allergy Action Plan Form. OTHER ALLERGIES If your child has any other known allergies, you must complete an Allergy Action Plan Form to keep on file.

Camp Staff and Training A qualified adult Camp Director supervises each camp. Counselors at each camp are mature and enthusiastic college-age students. All camp staff complete an extensive training program that includes supervision and safety techniques, activity development, and first aid. Camp Directors are also certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED.
