Inclusion at camp
The Jack and Pat Kay Centre Camp philosophy is to create a memorable camping experience for children of all abilities. Camping is a wonderful social experience and at The Jack and Pat Kay Centre Camp we recognize and celebrate how special and unique we all are!
Our engaging, fun, enthusiastic and dynamic program is designed to ensure everyone is successful and enjoys everything our day camp offers.
We work together with our families and other skilled professionals to offer every child a unique summer experience. We are committed to create a safe, enthusiastic, and creative environment in order to promote each camper’s growth, independence and self-confidence.
Our goal is to offer all campers a safe, exciting and integrated summer experience. The level of support for each camper will be determined based on their individual needs and may change depending on the activity and time of the day.
The people we had direct contact with in the inclusion program were phenomenal. Not only did [your staff] ensure our daughters felt included as a camper but [they] impacted the girls' experience as well. Honestly we cannot say enough about the fantastic inclusion program you have there! It is obvious that Centre Camp truly cares about the experience of every single camper and strives to help make camp the best possible experience it can be. With heartfelt gratitude to you all.
