23.01.2022 We have a last minute cancellation available for a 4 day intensive program which will run from next Tuesday - Friday. If you are interested in this intensive program, please leave a message on the clinics answering machine 45789799 or email [email protected] and a member of our team will call you back on Monday.

22.01.2022 Welcome to Virtual Camp Jabiru 2020! We at The Sensory Gym are heartbroken that we cannot be with you in person and share with you the magical experience that would have been Camp Jabiru 2020. At its very essence Camp Jabiru is about connection, and during this time of uncertainty and disruption, connection is more important than ever! We know that many of you will also be missing our time together. So please join us in our virtual Jabiru experiences! A private facebook g...roup has been set up for our virtual camp. Please click on the link to join www.facebook.com/groups/701403863701345/ There will be a Jabiru challenge posted each day this week (starting 20/4) that you can enjoy with your family or other loved ones! At the end of the week, we will be posting a virtual campfire. We hope you will share in the fun and laughter that were part of creating the virtual campfire! We also encourage you to post your favourite Camp Jabiru memories or thoughts to share with the rest of the Camp Jabiru tribe. We’d love to hear from you, and we’d love to keep the spirit of Jabiru close this week! I have so many memories of Jabiru, it’s hard to single out just one! I only know after 31 years of being part of camp programs as an occupational therapist, the week of camp is still my favourite week of the year. The closing campfire of each Jabiru brings smiles and tears of gratitude and wonder in equal measure. It is hard to rival the experience of sitting at the back of the group during that last campfire and witnessing all of the connection and collected beingness that has been nurtured and nourished during the week. A special shout-out to the entire team of The Sensory Gym for being the amazing people you are. You have risen to the challenge of these unknown times with grace, humour, and a continued sense of team. Thank you! I’d also like to acknowledge Lynette Burke for all that she did in her two weeks of quarantine to ready the team for the changes ahead as well as calm my angst through the sea of uncertainty. Finally, I’d like to thank Elise Harley for running with my desire to create a virtual campfire experience that we could all share. She put herself forward in a way that is not always comfortable for her. Elise’s heart always speaks louder than her reservations. We hope to see you all online. Regards The Jabiru Team

Firstly to our Jabiru village for 2021 who helped our campers soar this week. Also a big thank you to Ann and Monika for their behind the scenes efforts and to our wonderful nurses Belle and Mandy.

Thank you.

09.01.2022 Happy New Year! All holiday intensive programs will still run as scheduled at The Sensory Gym. We continue to follow a COVID-Safe plan at the clinic, so we will meet you outside prior to your appointment. Please do not enter the building until your therapist has met you and taken your temperature. We will be following all safety and hygiene protocols as we have since May 2020. Please let your therapist know if you would like her/him to wear a mask during your child's ses...sions. Due to the recent increase in coronavirus cases, siblings will not be allowed in sessions. Only one parent or guardian may accompany the child inside the clinic. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. As we are on holidays until January 4, the best way to contact us is at [email protected]

07.01.2022 A reflection from Colleen Hacker: Camp Jabiru 2020 is cancelled. Again. There’s simply no other way to say it it sucks. In a year unlike any other we have experienced, the losses and disappointments of 2020 continue to accumulate. Some days are harder than others. Some days, it is difficult to find a bright side. We so wanted to make Camp Jabiru 2020 happen. We so wanted a joy reset. We so wanted to bring community together in a way that is powerful and sustain...ing. That is what Jabiru does, and it is what we are missing in a year that has often kept us isolated and separated. We are having to be so creative in how we connect. It can be hard to find the meaning in this time, and I am on constant quest for meaning. My brain hurts from thinking. My heart hurts from my own disappointment and the continued loss and disappointment experienced by those closest to me. When Jabiru was cancelled (again), the missed opportunity for community and connection was the greatest loss for us all. So my deep breath and bright note for today is that The Sensory Gym is 15 years old today. The community of Camp Jabiru is an outreach of the mission started at The Sensory Gym those 15 years ago. In these crazy times, reflection on how we show up in the world is important. And I am so proud to be one team member of The Sensory Gym and of Camp Jabiru. I am so grateful to all my fellow team members! Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. Margaret Mead
