This is information from WSSRA! :) Summer will be here before we know it!
Yes, it is only January but WSSRA is thinking summer! The WSSRA Day Camp registration drive ends on Friday, Feb. 5 at 5pm. We do a lottery. I know IEP's may still be planned for spring but if families wait until then to think summer camp, it will be too late. Please encourage all the Dt. 97 parents of special education students to think about day camp and other recreation options. WSSRA had 9 camps last year, serving 180 students. WSSRA offers 2 preschool camps and all other campers are grouped by age and ability level. Half day slots are available for those students attending Dt. 97 summer school. Camps are usually held at recreation facilities in Berwyn, Oak Park and Forest Park. Families can down load a registration form from our winter brochure found at www.wssra.net. They can complete the form and fax it to us at 847-455-2157 or mail it to us. NO deposit is required to enter the lottery. If they "win" a slot in camp, we'll arrange payment plans and scholarships for those who need them. Thanks for your help in sharing this news with your students' families. Please call me if you have any questions. Feel free to give my number to parents who may have questions about camp. Thanks for your support.
