However, they do not always know how to do this. Here are some key points for inclusion at camp. See the Child First Each child is an individual. Get to know the child, not just their disability. Focus on Ability Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Find out what each camper is good at, and build their self-confidence. Anticipate Differences Plan for campers’ needs before they get to camp. When you are planning, think about whether they will be fun for each child. Make any necessary changes before camp starts, so all children feel welcome from the beginning. Inclusion is a Group Effort Everyone in the community must believe in inclusion and support all children. Parents, Caregivers and Campers are Your Best Resource Open and honest communication with people who know the children well can help. Find out their likes, dislikes and needs. Share ideas and challenges. Relax! You don’t need to be an expert on inclusion. You just need to be flexible and kind. Ask for help if you need it.
You can do this! Kids with disabilities are just kids. Some strategies can help, but there are no special rules to learn.
