AdvertisementsLearn moreFeaturedInside Out Learners, Inc.We have new Sibshop dates! May 6th for 9-12 year olds and May 20th for ages 5-8!
Sibshops provide young brothers and sisters peer support and information in a lively, recreational setting.
It gives us great pleasure to offer Sibshops with two age groups for the Hampton Roads area at Inside Out Learners! This is an exciting program just for brothers and sisters of kids with special needs. At a Sibshop event, brothers and sisters will:
• Meet other brothers and sisters of individuals with special needs.
• Engage in fun group activities appropriate for their age group.
• Talk with others who "get it" about the good (and sometimes not-so-good!) parts of having a sib with special needs.
• Learn more about disabilities and the services that people with disabilities receive.
• Have fun!1220 Executive Blvd., Suite 109 Chesapeake, VA 23320(757) 436-2722terrie@insideoutlearners.comhttp://www.insideoutlearners.com/ -
AdvertisementsLearn moreFeaturedOur Sensory FarmFarmventure Camp is an inclusive, outdoor half-day program that will be held during select weeks this summer at Our Sensory Farm!
Campers ages 4-12 with all abilities are encouraged to join us and will have full access to our unique 3-acre property including the mini working farm, up close animal encounters, sensory stations, nature trails and adventure forest. With different themed activities and interactive experiences offered each day, there is something for everyone to enjoy!
The most important feature of our Farmventure Camp is that it is available to all abilities! With two options for attending, we are uniquely able to accommodate all children!
Independent Campers are invited to attend Farmventure Camp without a parent/guardian/chaperone. For the safety and well-being of everyone, Independent Campers are able to dress, eat and use restroom facilities independently. They can clearly state their needs and wants as well as remain in a group setting without elopement or aggressive behaviors.
Assisted Campers are those who may need additional help while at Farmventure Camp in order to access the materials and fully participate. We invite parents, guardians, caregivers and therapists (ages 18 and over) to join us as Chaperones and accompany their Assisted Campers at no additional cost. In order to maintain small group sizes, Assisted Campers can bring up to two chaperones each day.
If you have questions about whether Farmventure Camp is appropriate for your child, please contact Shannon Wells at info@oursensoryfarm.com.
