 Inclusion Program
The Municipality of Port Hope provides accessible and inclusive opportunities and is committed to ensuring all campers have a successful camp experience. There are times when a child requires more support than our camp ratios provide and knowing this information before the start of camp is imperative to a successful camp experience. Different types of support can be requested for participants who benefit from it to be successful in a typical camp experience.
Inclusion support is only available during regular camp hours, Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 
Priority is given to Port Hope residents and inclusion requests are processed in the order they are received and based on the availability of inclusion staff. Support is not guaranteed. If support is not available for the week you are requesting, families may provide their own support staff to assist. Please reach out to Inclusion Services in advance to discuss external support.
