Welcome to Virtual Camp Jabiru 2020!
We at The Sensory Gym are heartbroken that we cannot be with you in person and share with you the magical experience that would have been Camp Jabiru 2020. At its very essence Camp Jabiru is about connection, and during this time of uncertainty and disruption, connection is more important than ever! We know that many of you will also be missing our time together.
So please join us in our virtual Jabiru experiences! A private facebook group has been set up for our virtual camp. Please click on the link to join www.facebook.com/groups/701403863701345/
There will be a Jabiru challenge posted each day this week (starting 20/4) that you can enjoy with your family or other loved ones! At the end of the week, we will be posting a virtual campfire. We hope you will share in the fun and laughter that were part of creating the virtual campfire!
We also encourage you to post your favourite Camp Jabiru memories or thoughts to share with the rest of the Camp Jabiru tribe. We’d love to hear from you, and we’d love to keep the spirit of Jabiru close this week!
I have so many memories of Jabiru, it’s hard to single out just one! I only know after 31 years of being part of camp programs as an occupational therapist, the week of camp is still my favourite week of the year. The closing campfire of each Jabiru brings smiles and tears of gratitude and wonder in equal measure. It is hard to rival the experience of sitting at the back of the group during that last campfire and witnessing all of the connection and collected “beingness” that has been nurtured and nourished during the week.
A special shout-out to the entire team of The Sensory Gym for being the amazing people you are. You have risen to the challenge of these unknown times with grace, humour, and a continued sense of team. Thank you!
I’d also like to acknowledge Lynette Burke for all that she did in her two weeks of quarantine to ready the team for the changes ahead as well as calm my angst through the sea of uncertainty.
Finally, I’d like to thank Elise Harley for running with my desire to create a virtual campfire experience that we could all share. She put herself forward in a way that is not always comfortable for her. Elise’s heart always speaks louder than her reservations.
We hope to see you all online.
Regards
The Jabiru Team

To those of you who were to attend April's Camp Jabiru:
We will be contacting you individually to determine your preferences for moving forward with Camp Jabiru. Please give us another few weeks to sort through the ongoing challenges related to COVID-19. Once we have a solid plan for how to support The Sensory Gym's clients during this difficult time, we will return to sorting out camp. We thank you for your patience.
Kind Regards
Colleen Hacker
