INCLUSION POLICY
HUB Productions welcomes campers with Special Needs/Exceptionalities into all of our programs. In order to provide the best possible theatre and camp experience for your child we ask that parents/guardians provide us with information about how to best support your child ie; campers strength’s, needs, strategies etc.
REQUIREMENT TO DISCLOSE SPECIAL NEEDS OR BEHAVIORAL ISSUES THAT CAUSE NEED FOR ONE-ON-ONE ATTENTION & REQUIREMENT OF AN INCLUSION COUNSELOR: At the time of registration, parents/guardians are responsible for notifying HUB Productions regarding any or all of these for their child: 1) an officially diagnosed special need, 2) undiagnosed behaviors or sensory processing issues that cause significant need for one on one attention to help them manage in a group situation, 3) if they have been asked to leave any program, 4) if they’ve had an EA/aide during school, 5) if they require additional support when dressing and toileting, and/or 6) if your child is associated with a support agency.
As a general rule if any of the above apply to your child it is recommended that he/she attend camp with a HUB Inclusion Counselor or personal support worker. This may incur additional costs. If you are unsure if your child needs support at camp, or if you think your camper might need “occasional extra support”, the Artistic or Education Director will help make that decision with you. If you think your child requires an exception, e-mail our office with details. Your disclosures will not preclude your child’s participation, but you may result in the additional cost of an Inclusion Counselor if one is required. If you plan to send your child to camp with a private personal support worker, please inform us of this before your child’s week(s) at camp.
Families have 3 options: 1. HUB is able to provide an Inclusion Counsellor for the cost of $500 – $600 per week (plus camp fees). Contact the Education Director to check if one would be available for you. 2. Families could also contact Muskoka Children’s Foundation which works in collaboration with HUB’s policies and philosophies to ensure successful artistic and recreational experiences for all campers. There is no cost for this service – campers can be matched with a worker for a maximum of one session per summer. Please check directly with Muskoka Children’s Foundation about eligibility for support. 3. A final option for families would be to send a private suppot worker to camp with the child. This person cannot be a parent. The cost for this worker is the responsibility of the families and are in addition to camp fees.
Please note: If we find that a camper has not been sent with a support worker but is monopolizing the time of staff, parents will be informed and required to arrange for support to be provided before the camper can return to camp. If adequate information or staff support is not provided by parents or if we are unable to safely support the child at camp, we reserve the right to remove the child from camp.
BREAK OR DISMISSAL FROM CAMP: There are rare times when our Staff or Education Director must either have a camper take a day off or dismiss them from the camp program due to behavior that demands significant 1:1 staff and youth leader attention. Behaviors which may result in 24-hour break or dismissal include; running away from the group, not listening to staff and youth leader’s re-directions, inability or lack of desire to participate in majority of our programming, scary language and/or meanness towards other campers, causing physical harm to anyone at the camp, including, but not limited to: hitting, kicking, biting, throwing objects at others. If a serious issue involving physical harm has occurred, an immediate dismissal happens, whereas with other behaviors, we communicate with parents and campers and give three chances before requiring a day long break from camp. Upon return from a day long break, if the behavior causing the break happens again, it is grounds for dismissal for remainder of camp. Our goal is to create successful situations for all involved. We realize it is not easy to get this news, or to make plans at the last minute, so it’s important to consider our policy before signing up your child. It may be possible for the child to return to camp with an Inclusion Conselor. There will be no refund for unused days at camp.
