Recreation Programs
Inclusion Services
My daughter had another wonderful week in the
Inclusion Camp program. All the staff were truly
amazing and every day we were met with happy,
enthusiastic people. Her days were full and so
happy. Camp is such a positive experience for
all children but it can be especially rewarding
for a child with special needs. It is a place they
can feel safe, happy and valued - your leaders
create this space with professionalism beyond
their years.
The City of Barrie is dedicated to providing
meaningful recreation opportunities for individuals
with exceptionalities through specifically designed
adapted programs, integrated recreational
opportunities, individualized support options, and
accessible facilities.
