What could be more fun than a Sibshop at the Zoo? This Sibshop includes a special live animal program called Animal Encounters.
What’s a Sibshop? Sibshops are for children, ages 6-12 years old, who have a brother or sister with special needs. This Sibshop will be held at the Henry Vilas Zoo in Madison. Children will have the chance to play, and connect with other siblings in discussions about the challenges and joys of life with a sibling with disabilities. They meet and have fun with other kids who “get it.”
Along with our regular Sibshop activities and Zoo presentation, there will be a pizza party. Space is limited and registration is required, sign up today to secure your spot!
