SPECIAL NEEDS CAMP

WEEKLY – JUNE 25 TO AUGUST 23, 2024

REGISTRATIONS BEGIN FEBRUARY 12TH

WHY CDS DAY CAMP?

Sablon Center offers an exciting summer camp for children aged 5 to 12. Our bilingual day camp provides a memorable summer experience, where your children are cared for by dedicated staff. Our facilities are safe and easily accessible. Every day, our goal is to inspire and encourage young people from all backgrounds and abilities to explore their hidden talents.

MISSION

The mission of the CDS Summer Camp is to work in parallel with your children’s educators from school and other services to offer a seamless transition into the summer, which will allow your child to socially progress as they have fun doing our activities!

PROCESS

After an in-person assessment with the parents and the child, depending on the child’s needs, she/he will be placed in a low ratio group or in a mainstream camp group with an integration aid.

Our staff and special needs leader remains in constant contact with parents in person, via email, or via communication folder depending on the child’s needs.  This will include individualized intervention plans, behavior tracking, and progress reports.

ACTIVITIES

Our weekly program consists of swimming, sports, science, art and theme of the week. All of these specialties are adapted to include sensory stimulation activities that work on gross/fine motor skills.

We have a wonderful reserved backyard for our campers to explore in addition to access the Sablon Park, which includes a soccer field, basketball court, playground, tennis court and Trekfit trails. Pizza, juice and chips on Friday are included in the price!

We also have special guests coming to the camp such as Reptizoo, Zootherapy, magicians, bouncy houses, water activities in Sablon Vert, etc.
