Inclusion Services

Register for one-on-one support by May 1, 2024.
Please review our camp inclusion information below for more details.

The Town of East Gwillimbury is dedicated to ensuring all campers have a successful camp experience. There may be times when a child requires more support than our camp ratios are able to provide. In these cases, we strongly recommend consulting with us about our support options.

How do I know if additional support is needed? 

Additional support is required if:

  • Extra support is required at school, or participant has a safety plan with their educational institution
  • A disability exists that could affect the safety of the participant or other participants
  • Extra support is required at home for basic care
  • Participant is associated with a support agency and/or program
  • There are behaviours to be assisted with (i.e. biting, scratching, pinching, slapping, etc.)

Families are required to complete an All About Me Package and provide a Safety Plan, if the participant has one, to help camp staff with any program adaptations. When considering recreation experience, please consider the individuals needs, and that the recreation integrated setting may not be suitable for all persons. The health and safety of participants and staff is paramount, which could result in participants being denied access to the program.
Are staff available to provide support?

Yes, in most cases arrangements for one-on-one support can be made. The Town of East Gwillimbury attempts to accommodate requests for additional support for children with special needs. However, due to the number of requests or level of care provided, support cannot be guaranteed. Accommodations can be made and are subject to health, safety and cost considerations. If we are able to provide your family with support it may only be up to two weeks at this time. Currently we are unable to provide eight weeks of one-on-one support.
Registering for Inclusion Support

Follow these steps in order to register for Inclusion Support:

  1. Register for one of our Summer Camp programs that meets the needs, hobbies, age and interests of the participant.
  2. Then, register for the corresponding week(s) of one-on-one Inclusion Support that matches the week(s) of camps registered for in step one using the registration code 9437. This can be done online at or in-person at the East Gwillimbury Sports Complex. Register for one-on-one support by May 1, 2024.
  3. Click here to fill out the online All About Me form and it will automatically be submitted to the Recreation Coordinator. 
Important Details
  • Inclusion one-on-one support is NOT a camp, it is a support service.
  • We may only be able to provide your family with support for up to two weeks at this time.
  • Currently we are unable to provide eight weeks of one-on-one support.
Can I provide my own inclusion support?

Yes, you may provide your own support (family member, friend, trained support worker or social worker).

We require a Vulnerable Sector Screening and a signed release of liability form for these individuals.

The support worker is required to participate in all activities as a positive role model for the participants and adhere to the Town of East Gwillimbury Policies and Procedures.
