The CA Respite Group is designed to provide monthly respite for families/parents to enjoy time for themselves; a dinner out, time for errands, rest, etc.
In addition to the adult staff, youth volunteers are matched with the students throughout the event. Being matched allows the students more social interaction at the event and provides an opportunity for the youth to learn from each other and build relationships.
Open to school age (ages 3-21) students and their siblings

Sign up is first come, first serve, once full, the sign up will be turned off. Please sign up so that we have appropriate staff and volunteers!
Please, if your child or anyone in your home is sick, we ask that you do not send them to respite. Please – if this changes after you sign up and your child is not able to attend, please email Jessica edcawash@gmail.com
**If CA staff determine that it is not safe for our attendees, volunteers and staff to be out due to weather or due to illness, we will make that decision by noon on the day of respite. If the West Bend School District closes, respite will be automatically cancelled. Watch our CA Facebook page for updated information!**
