INCLUSION SERVICES INCLUSIVE MODEL • The Town of Aurora welcomes and encourages residents of all abilities to have equitable and meaningful access to recreational camp opportunities. This is done through an inclusive model, where campers can attend with a trained Town Inclusion Staff or with an external support person. Town Inclusion 1:1 Support Staff are available to facilitate safe and successful participation in camp programs.

• When choosing a recreation experience, please consider the individual needs, and that the recreation integrated setting may not be suitable for all persons with disabilities. Health & Safety of participants and staff is paramount, which could result in participants being removed from the program. This includes safety measures related to complying with COVID-19 Provincial Safety Guidelines.

HOW TO REGISTER FOR INCLUSION SUPPORT 1. Register for a Camp program that meets the needs, hobbies and interests of the participant.

NOTES REGARDING 1:1 SUPPORT REGISTRATION • Due to Provincial Guidelines around cohort sizes, it is imperative that families register the child for a spot in a Summer Camp as soon as possible. If a camp program becomes full, no exceptions will be made due to group size limits put forward by the COVID-19 Provincial Safety Guidelines.

• Inclusion 1:1 Support is on a first come, first serve basis. If there are no more spots in the 1:1 Inclusion Support code, please place the camper on the waitlist. Note: In these cases, 1:1 support is not guaranteed unless the participant is registered in the corresponding 1:1 Support Code.

• Final decisions regarding support are at the discretion of FullTime staff. The Town reserves the right to determine when a staff is required based on information provided during intake and/or observations during camp. Town of Aurora will determine whether a participant’s support needs are beyond the scope of our Part-Time staff’s capabilities and training. In these situations, parents/guardians may be required to seek out an external support worker.

SAFE PLAY AT CAMPS The Town of Aurora is committed to providing fun, safe and engaging recreational programming opportunities to residents and community members.

However, there are certain behavioural expectations that are required to be met by our participants to ensure that all campers have a rewarding, memorable and fun experience while participating in our programs. Failure to abide by our Community Code of Conduct and follow our Safe Play at Camps Behaviour Protocol may result in dismissal from the program.
