Reach for the Rainbow works in partnership with organized children's camps and recreational programs across Ontario to provide integrated opportunities for children, youth, and young adults with disabilities
Quick Facts:
Each participant attends with a 1:1 support counsellor. Participants are included in program activities while 1:1 support staff responds to any requirements associated with the disability
- Partner camps hire & supervise support counsellors, fostering integration, safety, fun and friendship
- 1:1 support fees go toward the support counsellors’ salary
- Siblings and friends attend camp and recreational activities together
- Parents enjoy much-needed respite, knowing that their child is growing and learning in a typical setting, with enriched support
- Young adults in our program may have the opportunity to “graduate” to a volunteer status at camp while still receiving 1:1 support.
