appropriate accommodations are being made, and our qualified support staff will work with your child as
needed in the various programs that he/she may attend in order to provide your child with a rewarding and fun
experience. Our therapeutic recreation specialist, support staff and program directors will work as a team to
modify activities and/or equipment, provide emotional and behavioral support and facilitate social interaction
so that all children can participate to their fullest potential. This summer we will be implementing a group
inclusion model and 1:1 support will be granted only on an as-needed basis, pending assessment by the
therapeutic recreation specialist. Support staff as well as a sensory friendly indoor space will be available for

Program Committee has been hard at work not only planning a diverse offering of clubs throughout the year
for active adults aged 50 and over, but restructuring the club to meet the current demand for programming.
Many of the clubs will continue to meet on an ongoing basis and some have specific program dates. Clubs with
grey titles have fees for participation. You will only need to pay when you are able to join us! You can find more
information on each of these programs on our website (burlingtonrecreation.org) or by contacting the Program
Committee using the email listed below.
Here are the major changes:
We will now require all members register annually for the clubs they are interested in participating.
Registration is easy; you can now register online! Visit our website, burlingtonrecreation.org, click on
register and search for activity number 510007. As always, you can register right at the Parks & Recreation
office. This will allow us to communicate in a more effective manner with all of our members.
Additionally, the Club will now allow non-residents to register for clubs for a $10 annual fee.
If you have any specific questions about the new format or a club, please reach out to the Club 50 Program

will ensure that anyone suffering an allergic reaction will be treated and enabled to access emergency
services promptly.
Parent or legal guardian is required to fill out an Authorization to Administer Medication form for each
participant requiring an EpiPen. Additionally an Action Plan must be completed by the participant’s
physician. The original will be kept in the office and a copy will be given to the supervisor of the
program the participant is attending. EpiPen must be in a clearly marked bag with participants name
on it and the medication should be in its original container with the pharmacy label, which shows the
date of filling, pharmacy name and address, the filling pharmacist’s initials, the serial number of the
prescription, the name of the patient, name of prescribing practitioner, name of prescribed medication,
directions for use and cautionary statements, if any, contained in such a prescription or required by
law. The EpiPen should be stored in a cooled lunch bag / container and given to the program director
upon arrival at the program. The EpiPen will be kept in a designated area on site.
The Parks and Recreation Department will not administer epinephrine unless and until a fully
completed Authorization Form and Action Plan is provided, regardless of whether or not an EpiPen is
provided in advance by or on behalf of the parent/guardian.
The program director is responsible for making sure all staff are aware of the location of EpiPen. The
designated EpiPen location should be kept out of reach of program participants.
