Inclusion & Safety for OST Camps
We welcome and support campers with diverse needs, both cognitive and physical. However, for the safety of all campers, we require that children are able to follow coach instructions, stay with their assigned group (when participating— taking breaks is welcomed!), and move safely through activities without sustained direct hands-on assistance. We welcome discussions with families prior to activities beginning in order to create a plan to best support the unique needs of each child. When available, we may provide additional coach support. If we are unable to provide one-on-one assistance, we may ask for caregiver supervision or participation to ensure our safety standards are met for all campers.
Bathroom Independence
Campers must be fully independent in the restroom. They should be able to recognize when they need to use the toilet, manage their clothing, wipe, and wash their hands without assistance. Our staff is unable to provide any restroom-related help without a written toileting plan established between guardians and emPOWER kids coaches at least one week prior to camp. In the event of an accident, caregivers will be notified ASAP. emPOWER kids must obtain verbal or written consent prior to providing assistance with changing or toileting.
