At TVCC, we are dedicated to providing the best possible support for each child and youth to be at their best. For our 3-Day March Break camp, children and youth who experience challenging behaviours that can disrupt group activities, who need one-on-one assistance, and/or are not fully independent to go to the washroom, may not be the best fit for this program.
With a staff-to-participant ratio of 1:2, we may not be able to provide the level of support needed for children and youth who require more individualized care. If this applies to your child or youth, we can help connect you with alternative services that may be a better fit. Our priority is to ensure your child or youth gets the support they need to thrive and be successful.
