day camps

NISRA’s summer day camps are a great place to experience games, storytelling, sports, arts & crafts, singing, skits, and swimming this summer. Our camps have helped children grow in self-esteem, make friends, experience new places, learn games & songs, and develop physical skills. NISRA camps are not an extension of the special education curriculum, however, many children retain concepts from the school year when they attend our camps in the summer months.

EligibilityIt is recommended that participants have a moderate level of independence skills for overnight trips. In addition to caring for themselves & their belongings, participants will be expected to follow scheduled activities, stay with the group, and help with general activities of daily living including food preparation and clean up. After the registration is received, a NISRA staff member will contact the participant/family by phone to discuss the trip and make sure that it is a good fi t for the participant, ensuring a successful trip for everyone.HousingTrip accommodations are typically double-occupancy. Participants will be sharing rooms, and possibly beds, with peers. A NISRA staff member may not be staying in the room. Room assignments will be made by the staff coordinating the trip. Participants are encouraged to be considerate, and take care of their personal belongings while being respectful of their roommates.Medication DispensingBased upon direction from NISRA’s risk management agency, the following is our procedure for dispensing medication during trips. When the parent/guardian supplies envelopes containing individual dosages, the envelopes must be sealed and not be a clear/transparent material. If this applies to you, we will provide additional details when you register.

Special Olympics

Special Olympics provides quality training & competition, stresses athletic excellence, rewards determination, emphasizes health and celebrates achievements.

We want athletes to do their best, and at the same time develop physical fi tness, experience joy, and develop skills and friendships.

Sports is naturally competitive for athletes and parents. Your child may not understand competition and may struggle with the rules and regulations of competition and the sport. If that is the case, Special Olympics may not be appropriate, and there are other programs that may be more suitable and enjoyable.

Special Olympics Competition

NISRA has introduced a Code of Conduct for all Special Olympics programs to encourage athletes, coaches and parents/guardians to embrace the values of competition and sportsmanship. A copy of the form will be provided at the start of each sport season. By registering for any individual or team sport, you are agreeing to adhere to the Code of Conduct before participating.

Athletes are required to have a valid Application for Participation (App) on fi le. Be sure to check the athlete’s App expiration date before registering. Registrations received after the deadline and/or with an expired App will be reviewed after those that were received by the deadline with a valid App.

The athlete must attend & actively participate in 75% of all practices prior to the competition in order to be eligible to compete. Athletes who do not compete in the Special Olympics competition will not be allowed to compete at the state level. Information for state competitions will be sent to qualifying athletes. Note that these events have additional cost requirements. Non-overnight competition fees vary by sport. Overnight competition fees are as follows: $75/$131 if staying with the team and $15/day if staying with family.

We are going paperless! Near the start of each competitive season, schedules will be posted on our website, www.nisra.org, on the Special Olympics page.

Important notes for parents/guardians and athletes:Special Olympics programs welcome

participants with intellectual disabilities.

Please read!

Be informed!

Please call the NISRA Offi ce to speak with Kara to assess which type of program would be the best match for the participant’s interests, abilities, time and convenience.

Annual Registration UpdateOnce each year, all registrants are requested to complete an Annual Update form in order for NISRA to update its records. This process helps the staff provide the safest & best care possible.

A Registration Note...Although some NISRA programs are offered according to dis-ability classifi cations, these classifi cations should only be consid-ered as recommendations. For example, if a particular program is offered for a specifi c group and your child does not have that classifi cation, but meets other social, physical and behavioral requirements to participate, please feel free to register for it.

Group Home Resident Fee PolicyIn-district status will be granted for participants residingin out-of-district group/sheltered homes or facilities that are within 5 miles of NISRA’s member districts, if the administra-tive headquarters of such group/sheltered homes or facilities is located within NISRA’s member districts.

If you have any questions about this procedure, please contact the NISRA offi ce.

Fitness Waiver for Fitness ProgramsDue to the physical nature of NISRA’s fi tness programs, the circumstances at some facilities, and the exertion that participants may undertake, NISRA requires a fi tness waiver prior to participation.

Program Policies1. Participants must be picked up at the designated end of the program. A fi ve minute “grace period” is given. Late pick-up creates additional costs and potential delays getting to another program. New: If a participant has not been picked up at the scheduled program end time, the parent/guardian/group home staff will be contacted. If the participant has not been picked up after a ten minute wait period, emergency contacts will be called. If there is no response from parent/guardian/group home staff/emergency contacts, the police will be called. The participant will be taken into protective custody until a parent or guardian can be located. When a late pickup occurs, a Late Pick-Up form will be initiated with the incidents, reminders, and parent/guardian signatures documented. One written reminder per season will be given with no penalty fee. Additional incidents will cause a penalty fee of $5 for every cumulative fi ve minutes late. The fee must be paid in full before registering for future programs.2. Programs may be cancelled due to inclement weather. When a program is cancelled, one re-scheduled date will be arranged if possible. No credit or refund will be issued.3. When participants of varying ages and ability levels are in the same program, NISRA will group them appropriately.4. NISRA provides an approximate 1:4 staff-to-participant ratio. If you are requesting a different ratio, please indicate the reason on your Registration Form.5. If a participant will be absent, please notify NISRA.6. If the participant is able to walk or ride a bike home, the parent/guardian must submit notice granting permission, in writing, to the NISRA offi ce prior to the start of the program.7. If someone other than the participant’s parent/guardian will be picking him/her up after a program, a note must be sent for the staff. Staff will not allow a participant to leave with another person without written notice.8. When arriving to, or departing from a program, please check-in with the staff before you leave or take the participant.9. If staff observe that it appears unsafe to release a participant to the person picking up after a program, the staff will call a supervisor to determine what other transportation may be possible.10. While NISRA staff will assist participants with their belongings at programs, NISRA cannot be responsible for lost or stolen property. Participants should not bring valuables to programs.11. Consumption of alcohol is not permitted at any NISRA program (this includes adults, ages 21 & older).12. Behavior Expectations. Although NISRA recognizes that many participants have special behavioral challenges, guidelines have been established to ensure safety and enjoyment of all participants. The Behavior Code of Conduct expects participants to: a) Show respect to all participants and staff, and take direction from staff.b) Refrain from using abusive or foul language.c) Refrain from causing bodily harm to self, other participants and staff.d) Show respect for equipment, supplies, and facilities.A positive approach will be used regarding discipline. NISRA will work closely with parents/guardians to develop behavior management plans. If inappropriate, disruptive or destructive behavior occurs, a prompt resolution will be sought. NISRA reserves the right to suspend or dismiss any participant whose behavior endangers the safety of him/herself or others.
