SIBSHOPS at Lansdowne Children's Centre
SIBSHOPS is a 4-day youth workshop hosted by Lansdowne Children's Centre at Kids Country Inn, 25 Bell Lane, Brantford (around the corner from our site at 39 Mt. Pleasant St.)
SIBSHOPS is not a camp. SIBSHOPS is a therapeutic program providing young brothers and sisters of Lansdowne infant, child and youth clients with peer support and information in a lively, recreational setting.
It is an opportunity for children and youth siblings to meet other "sibs" (usually for the first time). It is a lively environment where kids can have fun, laugh, talk about the good and not-so-good parts of having a sib with additional/special needs, play great games, and learn about the services their brothers and sisters receive.
