BUILDING STRONGER COMMUNITIES BY PROVIDING EXPERT GUIDANCE ON INCLUSION OF PERSONS WITH DIVERSE ABILITIES

Hello <<First Name>>

When you think of summer camp or summer recreation programs, what comes to mind?
Fun? Trying something new? Boosting self confidence? Exciting activities? Making memories and making friends?

I believe everyone should be able to have those experiences. Inclusion trainings offered through MERGE provide recreation and camp professionals the tools and confidence to welcome, engage and support campers with diverse abilities.

But that's not all...... in order for authentic inclusion to be successful, a very valuable and important part of the formula, our families and human service providers also need to be supported and informed. And MERGE has the trainings that are ideal for our support providers with emphasis on successfully accessing meaningful participation in inclusive recreation and camp settings.

Learn more in this edition of our newsletter about how we can work together to MAKE INCLUSION HAPPEN!
