1:1 Program Needs & Assessment Application
In collaboration with Occupational Therapists from McMaster’s School of Rehabilitation Sciences, we have developed a Special Needs Questionnaire below. Providing detailed information and sharing successful strategies that you and your camper have learned to address your unique needs will help us provide a meaningful camp experience.
Please note that this form is an application to our camps program and does not guarantee registration in the one-on-one program. While we are experienced and able to support a wide variety of exceptionalities, our coaches and counsellors are hired based on experience, and not qualified training (i.e., staff consist of university students and teachers. They are not typically EAs, child & youth workers, OTs, etc.). All campers must have control of bowel and bladder, as our facilities and staff are not equipped to care for campers who require regular support in these areas.
Any information shared will be reviewed by our One-On-One coordinators. We will be in contact to confirm whether we are able to accommodate your request for registration within 2 weeks of receiving the application.
You will also have the opportunity to be placed on the waitlist for additional sessions/if sessions are full. We cannot guarantee that the waitlist will open up, though we try our best to get you in to camp & keep you informed of the likelihood. There are two ways that the waitlist advances: 1) If someone already registered drops out of their space, then we immediately turn to the waitlist to see if the next person would like to fill that space, and continue to move down the waitlist until someone jumps on it. We will do this right up until the start of the session if someone drops out that late. 2) The other way that space opens are dependent on general camp registration. Weeks where we have lower enrollment but still our full staff team then we’ll open more spaces in the 1:1 support program. This tends to happen about 2 weeks prior to the start of each session.
If your camper has an Individual Educational Plan (IEP) that has been developed elsewhere that you would like to share with us, please include this with the submission of your form.
Please fill out the following information as it relates to your camper. Please indicate N/A for questions that do not apply. All camper information fields are mandatory.
