MISSION:
Provide programs designed to expand opportunities and enhance the lives of individuals with special needs and their families, based on the concept of “parents helping parents.” Our initiative is to provide outreach and instructional support services for any and all families who are caring for a loved one with a disability in and around Door County.
WHAT WE OFFER:
- Summer Camp - A camp experience for our school-age children. It meets five days a week for 8 weeks and offers fun arts and crafts, outings, and time to build friendships
- Family Engagement Activities – Social opportunities for both the kids and their entire family. It’s a great time to network and enjoy time in a judgement free zone! Activities may include: art projects, ice cream socials, movie night, theme dances, or simply an open house playdate.
- After School Program – a safe place for children to play and relax after school.
- PATH Busters – a social group for our high school and older kids who are looking for opportunities to hang out in a safe supervised environment. Activities may include: Candy Bar Bingo, Pizza Night, or other special events
- Parent Support – a group of PATH moms started a #MomStrong group and coordinate opportunities for other caregivers to all get together to help celebrate all those little accomplishments that others may not understand and provide that helping hand when we need a little more. They are also looking to offer some education opportunities in the future.

SPECIAL REQUEST FOR FAMILY PHOTOS
|
|
We are looking to build a library of photos showcasing Door County families. We would like family pictures and pictures of families participating in local events and activities, having a discussion, or even just spending time in Door County nature. The pictures can be of the entire family unit or any combination of family members. Photos of your children sleeping, playing, eating, at any age are also appreciated. We have posts regarding different subjects on our website and currently use stock photos but would love to make the whole site very local.
The photos will be used on the doorcountyparents.com website but we will not list any personal information with the image. If you are submitting professional images we will need proof of the photographer's permission for use and their information to give proper credit.
That can be as simple as an email sent to you, forwarded to us, from the photographer, where they state they give permission for the photo(s) to be used on doorcountyparents.com. We will give credit to the photographer if they don't have a logo on the image already.
Please understand that submission of your photos by email to
partnershipconnector@gmail.com
with subject line "pics for doorcountyparents.com" does not guarantee use but will act as a photo release and automatically grants permission to use the photos on our website. Again, we will not use your photos in any other capacity without prior permission. THANK YOU!
Please contact Rebecca Nicholson at 920-421-3145 with any questions.
