One-on-One Camps Experience
4 to 13 years old
At RA Camps, inclusivity is at the heart of our mission, ensuring all campers experience the joy of Summer Camp to the fullest.
RA Camps is excited to introduce the One-on-One RA Camp Experience! The RA's Inclusive Recreation Supervisor, the family, camper, and a dedicated special needs camp counsellor will work collaboratively to tailor the camp experience to suit the child's specific needs and interests throughout the session.
This program aims to offer individualized attention and support, allowing each child to flourish in a safe and comfortable environment. Our approach provides dedicated 1:1 support for campers with additional needs where the child is paired with a dedicated counsellor who is hand-picked for their compassion, patience, and commitment. Your child will thrive in this personalized environment, enjoying all the excitement of camp while receiving tailored assistance helping to ensure that they can participate, learn, and create memories.
Join us in making this Summer unforgettable for your child, as they engage in sports, games, crafts, and build meaningful connections.
Commitment & Limitations
While our staff are experienced and able to support a wide variety of needs, counsellors are not hired with specialized job training like EAs, child and youth workers, OTs, etc. (i.e. counsellors are typically university students with special needs experience). Therefore, we ask that all campers have control of their bowels and bladder, and the ability to wipe independently, as our facilities and staff are not equipped to care for campers who require regular support in these areas.
The camp environment is less structured, predictable, and controlled than the environments and routines at home and school. Due to the fluidity of our program, we have noted that disruptive and potentially harmful behaviours can be more common among campers with special needs. Please note that our counsellors will work hard to provide an inclusive and suitable environment, however, if behaviours begin to put the child, other campers, staff, or RA Centre patrons’ safety at risk, we will have to terminate the campers’ program. RA Camps has a strict no-violence policy.
