Summer camp program for children with special needs

My idea is to provide affordable programming for families in the community with special needs children on the South Shore of Montreal.

I am member of the RAPID committee, Resources for the Anglophone Population with Intellectual Disabilities, A non profit, grass roots committee started by parents and professionals passionate about providing quality activities to children with special needs. I am also a business owner in the community and have first hand knowledge of just how vital it is to support this cause. In the summer of 2009 my company, Langmobile inc. operated a summer camp out of REACH, a school dedicated to 70+ families on the south shore and surrounding areas, We dedicated one week of camp to a pilot project for only special needs children. We had a huge demand

but unfortunately many families were not in a financial position to send their child. This seemed to be the consensus across the board…activities were desperately needed but in many cases unattainable to families because of cost. With this knowledge I have decided to make it a personal mission of mine to get programs to families who need them.

Thus I am submitting this idea to your community fund project in the hopes of getting the one thing that will help families in need with special needs children…Financial assistance is the key to helping children with intellectual disabilities discover a world of potential within..

Help us help them…
