Inclusion support

Born 2009-2018 (all ages)
Inclusion support is available for children with special needs. By registering for inclusion support, we will work with the family to determine the appropriate level of care. From there we can provide the staff support needed to ensure children can participate to their comfort level in the summer camp program of their choice.

After registering for Inclusion Support, a staff member will be in contact to learn about the child and ensure the program is a suitable fit. Then, the child will be registered within the camp programs (standard camp fees apply) and payment will be required. Registration for inclusion support will close 2 weeks in advance of the start of camp. 

A child may require inclusion support if they:
• Have additional support or a safety plan in a school setting
• Require support for their safety or the safety of others
• Require extra support at home for personal care (e.g., toileting)
• Are associated with a support agency

Age requirements

Our camp age requirements are in accordance with the Province of Ontario's Child Care and Early Years Act. Only children who are 4 years of age at the start of program will be permitted to participate in any camp program.

Children with special needs or health conditions

The Town of Halton Hills strives to provide inclusive summer camp opportunities for those who have special needs. This includes anyone with a physical or developmental disability either congenital or resulting from an injury or illness who may require interpretive services, mobility and adaptive equipment needs and individualized support. 

A person may require inclusion support if they: 

• Require or receive additional support in a school setting 

• Require support for their safety or the safety of others 

• Require extra support at home for basic care such as feeding or toileting 

• Are currently associated with a support agency or program 

• Have a safety plan in place with their educational institution 

If you require inclusion support:

Participants who require inclusion support for camp programs are required to register for “Inclusion Support – Full Day Programs” or “Inclusion Support – Half Day Programs”. There is a separate course code for each week of inclusion support. Register for each week that inclusion support is required. There is no fee to register for the inclusion support. 

Registration for inclusion support will close two weeks in advance of the programs start date (e.g., Registration will close on June 20 for camp starting on July 4). This time period allows the Town to ensure staff are trained appropriately and prepared to welcome the participant into our programs. 

• Those who require inclusion support do NOT need to register for a space within the actual camp program. 

• The Town of Halton Hills sees parents/caregivers as partners and wants to work closely with each family to ensure we are properly prepared to welcome the child into our programs. The Recreation Coordinator will directly contact parents/caregivers to arrange a time to complete the intake process. During the meeting parents/caregivers will be asked to provide details about the child’s needs (e.g., successful strategies, common triggers). We want to know as much as we can about the camper so that the Town can offer the best possible support. 

• Information provided during the intake process is confidential and will only be provided to staff working directly with the participant in a program.  

• The Recreation Coordinator will ensure the program is a suitable fit, review guidelines and let parents/caregivers know what camp will look like this summer. 

• Once the intake process has been completed, the participant will be registered within the camp program accordingly. At this time, parents/caregivers will be contacted for payment.
