We are excited to offer another Sibshop in the Madison area.
WisconSibs Sibshops are workshops for children ages 6-12 who are brothers and sisters of children with disabilities. Sibshops are lively, relaxed events that combine recreation, information, and discussion, and give siblings the opportunity to celebrate the contributions and the challenges of their brothers and sisters with others their age.
Our March Madison Sibshop will be held at the Elver Park Neighborhood Center when we will have an morning of fun connection with other kids who ‘get it’.
Registration is $15 per participant, paid via credit card or check. Registration is required to attend, sign up today for a day of fun with Sibs! Please add your child’s information in the Participant Information section of the registration.
Please reach out to our office if you have any questions.
Come join us to explore the environment as Spring finds nature waking up after a long winter. Learn about the importance of local wetlands; find fish, frongs, turtles, and all kinds of hands-on activities for kids.
