Access and Inclusion in Recreation

We believe everyone should have the opportunity to participate in recreation. If you are a low-income resident of Port Moody, you may qualify for the Leisure Access Program , which provides reduced-cost access to programs and services. If a child or youth has a disability and requires support in camp you may be able to receive support in our summer camps.

Summer 2025 Camp Support

Support in Summer Day Camps If a child or youth has a disability and requires support in camp, please follow these steps:

Indicate Support Needs During Registration: Select "Yes" to the question "Does your child have a disability and requires support to be successful in camp?" while registering for camp.
Respond to Follow-Up Email: After registration, you will receive an email from our Recreation Inclusion team asking for additional information. Reply to this email before Friday, May 30, 2025.

Important Notes:

Priority: Port Moody residents receive priority for support over non-residents.
Support Availability: Support spots are limited each week from June 30 to August 29, 2025.
Request Process: Replying to the follow-up email is considered a request for support. Support is not guaranteed.
Limits: If approved, each child or youth may receive a maximum of one week of support for the summer.
Support Types: Depending on needs, support may be one-on-one, shared, or volunteer-based.
Own Support Person: Families are welcome to provide their own support person. If you plan to do so, email us at least two weeks before the camp starts.

For questions about requesting support, please email us before registering.

Families are encouraged to make these arrangements to ensure their loved ones feel confident and supported in our programs.
