RRCI Summer Programs Frequent Questions

 

Where will students spend most of their time in the summer program? Activities will be held in the community or RRCI office and addresses are provided with the Informative email sent to those accepted into the program. All participants that are accepted into the program will be given information for this meeting. 

​

What about transportation? For our Summer Youth Program for the 5-11 years of age, transportation is limited and must be reserved with 24-hour notice. As activities are every Friday, we will need to know the day prior if a ride is needed. The amount of drivers that we have varies so we are unable to have a consistent pick up list each week.

​

What time should the youth arrive and leave RRCI? For the Summer Youth Recreational Program, youth should arrive between 9:45 and 10am. They should be picked up by their parents by 12:15 pm. Youth using RRCI Transportation will be picked up and dropped off 30 minutes to 1 hour before and after the activity is held.

​​

What kind of supervision will my child have while involved with Summer Youth? Youth safety and well-being is our most important concern. Youth will be supervised in a group of no more than 1 staff to 7-10 student ratio. Our staff and volunteers all have background checks to be able to assist in this wonderful program. We do not have staff capacity for 1:1 supervision. There are always at least 3 adults present. Please refer to the application under “Best Fit for Summer Youth” to know if this is the best fit for your child.

​

What is the cost of the RRCI Summer Program? The Summer Youth Recreational Program has a program cost of $20 per child. If you are not accepted into the Summer Youth Program, this cost will be refunded in full.

​

Is the program payment due before the deadline or after? All payments are due BEFORE the deadline. Any applicants who are not accepted this year will be refunded. 

​

What about parents? How can they help? Building independence is about giving children at any age exposure and experiences without their family. For the Summer Youth Recreational Program, parents can attend and support their child in the activities planned with the understanding that the staff and volunteers may focus more specifically with their children. Parents are welcome to come and socialize with each other! 

​

What activities and classes be provided during program? Upon acceptance into the program, parents will receive a copy of the calendar outlining all activities and their locations.

​

What about other help or services? RRCI has additional resources, activities and help available beyond the summer program. Call Jailyn at (435) 218-2199 for more details about the Youth Program and RRCI General Services.

​

Getting the application back to us? The application is available on the RRCI website: www.rrci.org You can apply online, mail it, email Jailyn at jailyn@rrci.org , or turn it in person to us at the St. George Office. ​​

What is the Weekly Summer Recreation Program? 

​

We are excited to be offering a recreational summer program for youth with disabilities ages 5-11. We will have a weekly activity held at RRCI or out in the community to practice social and life skills. This group will start the first week of June and go until the first week of August from 10am-12:00pm. The focus of this program is to increase friendships, leadership opportunities for the older participants, and learning new hobbies/skills. This program has a program cost of $20 for each child (If families are unable to make this payment, please contact Jailyn directly to discuss options). Applications are due Friday, May 8th, 2026. This program is exclusively for individuals with disabilities.

 

Best Fit for Summer Youth

​​

The Summer Youth Program is most appropriate for youth who fit the following guidelines: 

  1. Youth must be able to demonstrate basic self-sufficiency. Students must be independently mobile, be able to demonstrate independence with toileting, feeding, and dressing or bring an attendant to assist with those needs. 

  2. Youth should be socially appropriate and be able to function at a 1 staff to 7-10 consumer ratio. 

 

RRCI reserves the right to select participants who demonstrate a reasonable expectation that services provided will be beneficial in their move toward independent living. Students must be between the ages of 5-11 for the weekly recreation program. It is important to get your application in early as we will be selecting on a FIRSTT COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS.  We will accept up to 20 participants for this group. You will be notified by May 12th 2026 if your child has been selected via email. There will be an open house on June 1st for parents to ask additional questions and meet the staff. Call Jailyn at (435) 218-2199 for any questions or concerns.
