Registration Information:
Registration is now closed – We are reviewing all submissions and will assign participants to confirmed spots. Waitlists will be created based on availability and priority criteria.
Questions can be directed to familyservicesintake@empowersimcoe.ca.
Supervision and Support:
Bowling sessions are supervised by members of the Optimist Club, with a Family Support staff member from Empower Simcoe on-site. Please note: 1:1 support is not provided. Families are responsible for arranging transportation.
If you’re unable to attend a week you’ve been confirmed for, please let us know as early as possible so we can offer your spot to someone on the waitlist.
