At The Jack and Pat Kay Centre Camp, we strive to create a positive camp experience for children of all abilities and we believe that all children should have access to the wonderful social experience that is camp.
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 and positive environment with the goal of ensuring all campers having a meaningful camp experience (additional fees may applied for inclusion services).
Safety for all campers is always at the forefront. As such, the level of support for each camper will be determined based on their individual needs. We recognize that we cannot meet the needs of every camper but our goal is to partner with families to create a positive and safe experience for all. Before registration is confirmed, we may conduct home/school visits to ensure that Centre Camp is able to meet the needs of your child. We may also conduct interviews with teachers, therapists and/or other professionals.
Please note that we are not a therapeutic environment. While we pride ourselves on the ongoing and quality training that our staff receive, we may not be able to meet the needs of all children.
Initial Assessment: Ensuring there is a good program fit is especially important in setting up campers for success. The level of support for each camper will be determined based on their individual needs.
Prior to registration, parents/guardians are requested to fill out an assessment form and take part in a 15-20 minute interview. During the intake process, additional information from other professionals and/or schools may be requested.
Ongoing communication: we prioritize open and ongoing communication with families throughout the camper’s journey, ensuring that we provide the best support and experience.
Our senior summer staff includes a dedicated full-time Behavioral Specialist, ensuring a positive and fun environment for all.
