Audience:
This program is cross-disability. It is intended for participants to come and have fun with peers over the weekend. It also gives their parents, guardians, and/or caregivers an opportunity to have some time on the weekend for themselves while their loved one is doing what they also love.
The program is specifically for families who are unable to access respite funding and/or support for whatever reason.
Ages:
There are 2 age cohorts:
- Kids – 5-12
- Teens – 12-18
Each age group will have one assigned Saturday per month.
Registration Cost
20$ per session attended.
Participants are required to complete the initial registration process (see Weekend Program Coordinator for details) and then they will have the opportunity to self schedule themselves monthly for sessions.
