ChildServe – Iowa City Sibshops 2026

Join us for a fun-filled event designed for the siblings of children who have special healthcare needs. Brothers and sisters are often our longest lasting relationships. Sibshops is a curriculum designed to celebrate and support these amazing siblings or “sibs" of children with special healthcare needs. Sibshops provide sibs with peer support and information in a fun, recreational setting similar to a day camp, and it is best suited for children age 7 - 12 years old. Sibshops are lively, pedal-to-the-metal events where your child will: • Meet other kids who have a sibling with special healthcare needs. • Talk about the good parts and the hard parts of having a sibling with special needs. • Learn about the services their sibling receives. • Explore how other kids handle sticky situations sometimes faced by their siblings. • Laugh, play games, most importantly, have fun! Each ChildServe Sibshop event is unique and may have a theme depending on the time of year. Your child may attend multiple Sibshop sessions in the same year.
