Registering for Inclusion Support

Inclusion support is available for children with special needs, disabilities or exceptionalities. A $100 initial payment is required at the time of registration to secure an inclusion camp spot. After registration in the Inclusion Support program, our staff will contact you to complete an intake process and finalize your child’s camp placement. The $100 payment will be applied to the total camp fee, with the remaining balance due after the intake process and confirmation of the camp registration. Learn more about inclusion support for summer camps.

Waitlists

If your camp is full, please either register for an alternative camp that week or add yourself to a waitlist. One registered spot OR one waitlist per week please! It helps us track true demand for camp and manage waitlists efficiently. If you remain on a waitlist but also register for a spot at another camp, you will be charged a fee to withdraw from your registered spot to take a waitlisted spot if it becomes available.

Children with special needs or health conditions

The Town of Halton Hills strives to provide inclusive camp opportunities for those who have exceptionalities. 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.

Please note that camp inclusion is only offered to taxpayers in the Town of Halton Hills.

A person 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., washroom care, feeding)

• Are associated with a support agency

If you require inclusion support:

• Register your child for “Inclusion Support – Full Day” or “Inclusion Support – Half Day”. Do NOT register for a space within the actual camp program, as this will be coordinated after the intake conversation.

• An initial $100 payment is required to register for Inclusion Support. The $100 will be applied to the actual camp fee. The remaining balance of the camp fee will be due after the intake conversation and your camp registration is confirmed.

Registration for inclusion support will close two weeks in advance of the programs start date. This time period allows the Town to ensure staff are trained appropriately and prepared to welcome the participant into our programs.

• 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.

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.

Financial assistance

The Region of Halton and the Town of Halton Hills Recreation & Parks offer financial assistance to qualifying families. For more information, please review our Affordability and Inclusion Policies, or contact Recreation Services at 905-873-2600 Ext. 2263.
