Sibshops is a nationally acclaimed program of fun workshops for kids ages 8-14 who have siblings with special needs. Each Sibshop gives participants opportunity to participate in recreational activities that encourage sharing, laughter, and fun! Kids will have the chance to meet and connect with other kids, who also have siblings with special needs. 

Our monthly meetings include fun activities like laser tag, snow tubing, pottery painting, and other exciting field trips. At Sibshops, siblings will:

• Meet other siblings of children with special needs and have a great time together
• Obtain peer support and education in a fun and recreational environment
• Share experiences in a supportive and non-judgmental environment, with other siblings who understand

Thanks to a generous donation from the HALO foundation, there is no cost for JF&CS Sibshops. Registration is open to anyone. Check out our flyer!
