Starfish Nippers
Mentone Life Saving Club will be continuing our Starfish Nippers program.
Starfish Nippers is a modified nippers program for kids with special needs. The program is run in conjunction with the existing age group Nipper Program.
The program caters for children and young adults with special needs beginning 7 years to 16 year old. The special needs spectrum includes children with autism, attention deficit disorder, Down syndrome, Asperger’s Syndrome and physical and intellectual disabilities.
Starfish Nipper activities include: beach games, beach running, beach flags, water familiarisation and surf safety. The sessions are conducted parallel to existing club Nipper programs on the same days and starting time.
