Grantees receiving funding through the SAS-C Grants Program are required to participate in a one-day All Kids Included (AKI) Professional Development Workshop on Inclusion Strategies for Children and Youth with Disabilities. The workshop provides SAS-C grantees with a hands-on approach and practical strategies for achieving inclusive arts and science summer camp experiences for children and youth. The grantee’s camp director plus another key staff member, such as the individual responsible for camp counselor training and/or day-to-day camp operations are required to attend this mandatory workshop training.
