COUNCIL FOR JEWS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
The Jewish Agency for Disability Resources
Summer Camp Is Just Around the Corner
 Everybody loves camp! For a child who has a disability, summer camp may be the high point of the year. The Council For Jews With Special Needs staff will help parents evaluate local Jewish camps and determine what supports are needed for their child’s participation in a “regular” camp. If a camper requires an aide in camp, parents must provide the aide at their own expense.
The Council appreciates the financial support of the Jewish Community Association, the Jewish Community Foundation and private donors.
For more information, call (480) 629-5343 or email info@cjsn.org to meet with our Camp Inclusion Consultant as soon as possible.
