Applications are now open for the 2024 Summer Camp Inclusion Grant.

This is the second year of the grant program. It provides financial assistance to pay for a support person so children with disabilities can participate in summer camps.

The support person can be an inclusion worker, a caregiver, an attendant, an ASL interpreter, a designated staff member or a person appointed by a family to support their child’s needs.

The grant provides up to $1,000 to families with children with disabilities who require a support person to attend a camp, or up to $5,000 to organizations providing summer camps who will hire inclusion workers to support children with disabilities.

Nine organizations and eight families availed of the pilot program in 2023.

More information can be found on the government’s website.
