Summer Sports and Recreation Programs: Open to all towns
For all CORSE-sponsored recreation programs: Each program has a 3:1 (student to staff) ratio, unless otherwise designated. This 3:1 student to staff ratio allows for most children with and without special needs to successfully access our classes independently, if the student can understand directions, be able to request assistance and have basic verbal skills to communicate with peers. If your child needs access to medications, please be aware that there is no nurse on-site. Parents are responsible for assuring the appropriate information is provided to the instructors. Instructors cannot dispense medication or perform testing. If there is an emergency, 911 will be called. If a parent/guardian believes that a program is not accessible to their child and wants more information, please contact the CORSE Foundation who will put you in touch with the appropriate program provider. If you register your child within 10 days of the program start date, your child’s start date may be delayed one week to ensure proper staffing. Please note this website page and program descriptions have been recently updated to provide parents/guardians with a clearer understanding of each program’s intended design. For 2013, these programs have been generously supported by grant funding received from the Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism, Boston Bruins Foundation, CVS Caremark, Grace E. Brooks Trust, Evan Henry Foundation for Autism and Sprinkler Fitters Local Union 550 U.A. as well as our community fundraising supporters!
