Sibshop (February 26, 2025)

Sibshops are a celebration of the many lifelong contributions made by brothers and sisters of people with special health and developmental needs. It is a recreational group for the siblings of children with special needs.

Sibshops provide young brothers and sisters peer support and information in a lively, recreational setting. They are pedal-to-the-metal events where Sibs will:

• Talk about the good and not-so-good parts of having a sib with special needs with others who “get it”;

• Meet other sibs (usually for the first time);
• Meet with the program coordinator and Sibshop mentor (Sibshop mentor added to encourage Sibshop discussions about our siblings)
• Go on a community trip to Monster Mini-Golf and Laser Tag at the end of the session
• Play some great games, complete arts and crafts projects, and build simple electronic devices with Snap Circuits
• Enjoy communal snack and open discussion time with fellow sibs
• Learn how others handle sticky situations sometimes faced by brothers and sisters;
  
• Laugh;
  
• Learn about the services their brothers and sister receive;
  
• Have some more fun!
