Connecting The Dots Respite Care Connection

Respite Care Connection (RCC) Connecting The Dots is a specialized after school and weekend program for children and youth who would benefit from time with their peers in a small group of 6-9 youth. This could be families with limited financial means, newcomers who may not be aware of recreation resources, and youth with disabilities who are not yet connected to disability funding.

Youth take part in activities that work towards fostering positive peer connection and friendship skills through games, projects, and trips in the community. We use both indoor and outdoor spaces around our clubhouse, community spaces such as parks, and recreation facilities for swimming, bowling, and much more.

RCC specializes in strengthening participants’ self-esteem, skill development, and socialization skills through a fun and safe environment with a ratio of one staff to three youth. Youth must be able to be successful in this ratio and not require 1:1 support. All staff are trained in safety, risk management, emotional regulation strategies, and Standard First Aid/CPR.
