Abstract

Peer mediation is an interesting avenue for the inclusion of youth with disabilities in day camps. This approach, which focuses on interaction between youth rather than through an adult, is the basic premise of the Camps on TRACKS program. This program was implemented as part of a pilot test with a limited number of stakeholders in a Quebec municipal day camp context. A community organization responsible for implementation, in collaboration with a research team from Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, funded by the Social Participation and Inclusive City (PSVI) team, trained three facilitators and three coaches at the beginning of the 2019 summer season. Questionnaires, observations, and a focus group were conducted over the summer to evaluate the pilot implementation of this program. Following the results, recommendations were formulated for a future research project.
