What is inclusion? • Incorporating everyone with their strengths and challenges, and allowing everyone to contribute. • Creating a sense of community among all participants. Why do children need inclusion? • Fosters the development of a feeling of belonging. • Embraces the acceptance of individuality among peers. • Develops a sense of independence. What do we do? • Hands on learning. • Provide additional support staff. • Gross motor and fine motor development. • Improve social interactions and social skills among peers. • Make accommodations as necessary by altering teaching methods without lowering standards. • Modify activities to better meet individual needs. There will be no additional cost to enroll your child in Camp Rishon’s Yachad Program provided our grant funding is renewed again this year. Is Yachad right for my child? Because individual needs vary, the first step is to see if our Yachad Program is a good fit for your child. Please contact Mick Hagan, inclusion specialist, at 315-445-2360, ext. 129. Space is limited, so don’t delay! What you need to know... Camp Rishon offers children entering grades 1-6 a variety Camp runs for 8 weeks of adventurous and enriching programs which provide Monday–Friday opportunities to establish lasting friendships and gain June 29 – August 21 experience “by doing.” Our diverse Specialty Camps offer campers exciting new challenges and familiar favorites, while our Nitzanim Camp combines the spirit and energy of a comprehensive day camp program with weekly themes, field trips, occasional overnights and special events. Program Options Nitzanim Day Camp This camp is geared toward the child who wants an exciting variety of activities. It is many of the specialty camps all rolled into one with an emphasis on weekly themes. Specialists lead activities in arts and crafts, sports and games, Israeli culture with a visiting Israeli scout counselor, drama and nature. Daily Red Cross instructional and recreational swimming and a weekly Shabbat celebration round out some of Nitzanim’s highlights. Nitzanim weekly field trips will take place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays depending on the week. One day each week is supplemented with a field day with themed activities. Fridays are known as super Friday where campers are given the opportunity to choose between traditional (i.e. sports and arts) and alternative activities (like slip and slide, scavenger hunts, wacky water fun and much more) to create their own schedules. Specialty Camps We offer over 30 different Specialty Camps for kids to explore a specific interest area for an entire week. From rocketry and basketball to Overnight Fun Campers have the opportunity to attend our optional Thursday overnights for an additional fee when enrolled in weeks 2, 4, 6 and 8.
