We are very excited for all the sun and fun as we move into summer. Please see notes below related to camp updates:
NISRA remains committed to the health and safety of our campers and staff. The Association continues to follow current
guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), and Illinois Department of
Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) for recommendations on safe program operations. NISRA will continue to
follow the most up to date information and make adaptions to programs when necessary.
There are new options for how you register for camp. Based on feedback from families, we are now offering camp registration
on a bi-weekly basis. This will give families more options when managing their campers schedule for the summer. There are
no longer daily registration options for Independence and Independence Jr. NISRA is not able to offer prorated fees for
dates that campers are absent.
At NISRA, staff are trained in the Handle with Care Behavior Management System. Handle with Care specializes in verbal de-
escalation techniques, targeted to assist participants in crisis. Handle with Care training also teaches staff how to perform
safe physical restraint techniques for participants who may become aggressive, assaultive or cause harm to themselves or
others. Please note that safe physical restraint is only used as an absolute last resort as a means for behavior management.
NISRA will only use safe physical restraint if all other behavior management techniques have been exhausted or participants
are in imminent danger. If Handle with Care techniques are used with your participant, you will always be notified by a NISRA
staff.

pick-up point each day that a bus aide is available, and if not, to choose whether to have their child ride the bus. If a
