Children's Services

For 7 years now, Tamir has offered Keshet for Kids Summer Day Camp programming to children in our community with disabilities. We are also pleased to be able to offer a March Break edition of Keshet for Kids. As always, the fun is contagious!

The premise for the camp is simple; pair the kids up with high school or college aged ‘shadows,' help them register in a community camp of their choice and provide a coordinator to help integrate the children into the camp successfully. As the program has evolved, we have seen that some of our campers also enjoy the option of internal programming, offered on site at Tamir, where the groups are smaller and the schedule is flexible. No matter the environment, friendships, new experiences and a great set of memories is a guarantee!

We are grateful for the support of the Ottawa Jewish Federation, our primary funders for this program. For more information on Keshet for Kids programs and costs, contact Lisa Giffin at 613-725-3519, ext. #104 or at lisagiffin@tamir.ca.
