Inclusion Support for Camps

Science Venture is partnering with UVic Vikes Athletics and Recreation to provide a campus-wide approach to inclusion for youth.  

Summer 2023 saw changes with regards to Queen Alexandra’s Supported Child Development Program role in facilitating inclusion needs and practices within our camps. The responsibility of securing funding for Inclusion purposes and Inclusion Support Worker (ISW) placements will now be put into the hands of individual summer camps to assign roles specific to the camps themselves.

For Science Venture & Vikes Athletics support for children and youth who require extra help this summer will be centralized through our brand new inclusion team. This team will bridge both UVic Vikes Athletics & Recreation as well as Science Venture. This will consist of ISW, as well as an Inclusion Coordinator who will oversee the entire operation. This new department will ensure the safety and the needs of each individual child and youth are met, and their time at camps will be a fun and enjoyable experience. 

We are dedicated to ensuring that youth receive the support they need to attend camps, we believe that all youth should have the opportunity to come to campus. 

We have updated our inclusion information forms and you can access them here: Inclusion Support Intake Form (form says 2023, please keep using for 2024)

Please fill out the information to the best of your ability. The more information you provide us, the better we can support your child.

All Inclusion Support requests must be emailed to inclusiononcampus@uvic.ca before June 30th.
