Sidekicks staff are well-trained and passionate individuals who work in the field of special education, or are currently enrolled in a college program for education/special education related. All staff are background checked. They promote inclusion and try to give our participants the best summer ever!

2024: Our staff is currently made up of local teachers, classroom assistants, and current individuals going to school preparing for their special education teaching careers.

We have two different type of outings:

1. Local (15 or less minutes from Grand Haven) . These outing parents drop off and pick up at the outing location. Some outings include Sidekick Socials, Craig’s Cruisers, Local Parks, Grand Haven Beach Days, Sidekicks Bash, and more.

2. Travel Outings: On Outings that are further away (Michigan’s Adventure, Lewis Farms, Whitecaps etc) Sidekicks provides limited spots for Transportation. Parents drop off at the Grand Haven Meijer (Letter H) and Pick up from the Grand Haven Meijer (Letter H). Families also have the ability to drop off and pick up from the outing location.

Currently Sidekicks does not provide scholarships, Sidekicks is seeking sponsors for all outings to lower cost for all families.

Summer outings take place Monday - Friday for 10 weeks starting in June. Our summer Calendar will be released in March 2024.

Each outing will specify the necessary items to bring, tailored to its unique requirements. While some outings may suggest packing a sack lunch, others may recommend essentials like a water bottle and sturdy walking shoes. Sidekicks ensures clarity by outlining precisely what items will contribute to the success of each individual.

Sign ups for our outings will commence in April 2024 (Date to be announced in March 2024) exclusively through our website. Due to high demand, spots tend to fill up rapidly. We strongly encourage families to sign up for the waitlist as well, enabling us to gauge interest and accommodate additional outings accordingly

We understand that unexpected circumstances such as sickness or emergencies can arise. However, to ensure smooth operations and maintain the quality of our services, including scheduling and staffing, we have an outing cancellation policy.

Cancellation Policy: Outings canceled within 48 hours of the scheduled time will be subject to invoicing. Please notify us as soon as possible if you need to cancel. We will do our best to work with you in such situations.

It varies depending on the outing! Each outing will specify the maximum number of individuals we can accommodate. The number of Sidekicks accompanying participants is tailored to the outing's requirements; some may involve larger groups while others necessitate smaller ones due to location constraints. However, our commitment to maintaining a 4:1 ratio of Sidekicks to participants remains consistent across all outings

A night of dance, games, crafts, and food! A celebration of all things SIDEKICKS! You DO NOT want to miss this event!
