At our October Sibshop we will be doing pumpkin painting (we will provide the pumpkins), active games, try pumpkin treats/snacks and other activities to foster an environment of connection for the sibs.
WisconSibs Sibshops are workshops for children ages 6-12 who are brothers and sisters of children with disabilities or long-term illnesses. 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 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!

Here’s a chance to connect with other adult sibs while getting into a book on your reading list or a new read.
Any Sib may join from anywhere in Wisconsin. Books will be chosen by participants and meetings are expected to be held once per month via Zoom.
Don’t always have time to read? Join us anyway.
Be open to a world of PosSIBility!
In the meantime, check out our closed WisconSibsREAD Facebook page.
Activities during the event include: Cookie decorating, games, crafts, face painting, fun in the outdoor Santa’s courtyard, letters to Santa, breakfast treats, hot and cold beverages, and much, much more!
$10 for adults. Children are free. Registration REQUIRED.
The Oshkosh Public Museum is all about discovery. Join other children ages 6-12 who have siblings with disabilities to discover the challenges and joys we uniquely share as Sibs…and HAVE FUN EXPLORING THE MUSEUM!
Through our collections and exhibitions, we present stories about this place called Oshkosh. The Museum is the perfect place to find inspiration in objects, images, and information that interests you. With almost 300,000 objects in our collections, from quilts to decoys to clothing and more, you are sure to discover some awesome artifact on view. The Museum is the ideal place to connect with the community and its past, and to find out about people or meet friends. If you are searching for your ancestors, the Museum archives holds over 70,000 historic photographs, along with film, letters, and diaries.
Every year on April 10, the Siblings celebrate their special day.
We cheer for siblings, especially the sisters and brothers of people with disabilities. Celebrate today! In the words of countless sibs, “My sib helped make me who I am today”.
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.
