One-on-One Support Program

We are working on improving our One-on-One Support Program. If you would like to join the committee, please email morgan.shupe@funrecdaycamp.com.

One-on-One Program.

In 1998, NEBCA developed a community-linking project to promote social acceptance of all children. Our goal is to support children in participating alongside their neighbourhood peers.

NEBCA has run a program for children who require additional support since 1998, and has welcomed children with additional needs in the Fun Rec program for many years prior to that.

NEBCA promotes participation within our community to help children develop social and physical skills through activities such as sports, crafts, music, and drama.

The number of children we can register in this program is two per week. We have two full-time One-on-One Support Leaders who can each assist one full-time camper, per week for six weeks.

To allow as many children as possible to participate, registration is initially limited to a maximum of two weeks per child. Families may join a waitlist for additional weeks and will be notified if spaces become available. If spaces remain available at the end of June, additional weeks may be offered to families already on the waitlist.

If you are registering a child with additional support needs (for example, a child who works with an educational assistant at school), please register for the One-on-One Support Program. All families must complete the online registration form, including a detailed camper profile. Our Program Manager will reach out after reviewing your camper profile.

Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us. We appreciate your continued support of Fun Rec Day Camp.

One-on-One Support Policy (Adopted 2025)

While our staff work hard to adapt camp programming for participants with exceptionalities, Fun Rec Day Camp is unable to provide assistance with:

• Toileting
• Changing clothes or dressing
• Lifting or carrying
• Administering medication of any kind

If a child requires this type of assistance, a parent, caregiver, or family member must be available to provide it.

In addition, campers must be able to:

• Take trips on public and charter buses (as this is how Fun Rec organizes out-trips)
• Join groups throughout the day and participate in activities
• Wear a life jacket if they are not able to pass the swim test
• Wear a Fun Rec T-shirt or wristband throughout the entire day
• Follow basic safety expectations, including responding to staff and staying on the sidewalk

Before a camper registered for the One-on-One Support Program can attend camp, a parent or guardian must attend a meeting with the One-on-One Support Leader and/or the Project Manager. This meeting is mandatory.

Without scheduling and attending this meeting, we will not be able to assess whether the camper can attend camp. Attending a meeting does not guarantee that we will be able to support the camper’s participation.
