SibShops

What are Sibshops?

Sibshops are a celebration of the many contributions made by brothers and sisters of kids with developmental disabilities. Sibshops reflect a belief that brothers and sisters have much to offer one another if they are given a chance. Siblings participate in a spirited mix of new games (designed to be unique, off-beat, and appealing to a wide ability range), participate in discussion activities, and get to know others who have something in common with them -- a sibling with a disability. Sessions will have snacks and may include crafts, discussion groups, and other lively activities.

When and Where?

The Arc of Frederick County offers a series of workshops for siblings, ages 8-13. Sibshops meet on the second Saturday of each month, from 1-4pm.

If you'd like your child to attend, you can register by downloading, printing, and sending in the printable registration form, or by submitting the electronic version below.
