Get on Board
Travel Training Summer Day Camp 2013
Sponsored by Calgary Transit, Calgary Catholic School District,
Calgary Board of Education

A fee of $25 (twenty five dollars) is charged but will be refunded if participants attend 100% of the camp. This is to ensure that those who register attend the camp.
The ‘Get on Board’ Travel Training Summer Camp will aim to teach participants with disabilities how to ride on public transit. It will provide both classroom and could provide actual bus/CTrain training. In order to ensure that this camp is right for you and your child please refer to the qualifications list below that outlines who would benefit most from these services:

Qualifications:
• Must have a mild to moderate disability.
• Must be between the ages of 12 – 18.
• Must not have extensive experience riding Calgary Transit; some exposure is acceptable.
• Must be self sufficient or be able to bring an aide to accompany them.
• Must be taking the camp to gain sufficient knowledge to take Calgary Transit independently upon the conclusion of the program or specific goals should be submitted in the application form.
• Some of the locations we travel to are not accessible. If your child is unable to walk up stairs the camp leader will identify the day your child will not be able to participate.
It is not essential for an individual to meet all of these qualifications, as this list is designed as a guideline; however, those who do will benefit and be successful in this particular camp.
