The International Institute for the Brain (iBRAIN) is sponsoring the first-ever Special Sibling Summer CAMP (Center for Adolescent Maturity and Play): a fun and comprehensive daily program designed specifically for general education students with siblings who receive special education services. The inaugural summer 2021 CAMP will only include general education females who are entering 6th Grade for the 2021-2022 school year (who also have a special needs sibling). We are only accepting six applicants.
CAMP COST
This 11-week program is completely FREE to attend, regardless of financial means, with zero additional costs to participate— all that is required of the students/families is daily transportation to and from the iBRAIN facility. It is also highly recommended that the students bring snacks and/or meals with them each day, as iBRAIN will not be providing food during the course of the program.
The mission of iBRAIN’s Special Sibling Summer CAMP is to provide engaging activities for the siblings of special needs children that foster the development of new skills and help to strengthen their mind, body and spirit.
