If your child requires additional support at school, or the support from an aide, please note that Quest Theatre does not have the resources equivalent to that support, so an aide and/or additional resources would need to be provided by you. Please open a conversation with our staff so we can determine, together with you, how to make your child’s experience at camp the best one possible.
