A look inside A Camp Day

twelve weeks, built from the inside out

9:00-9:15 AM: Arrival & Open Play

Dive into a world of excitement in our amazing sensory gyms—where every moment sparks joy!

9:15-9:30 AM: Morning Meeting  

We will do a body check-in, identify which Zone we are in, go over our plan for the day and introduce new regulation and social thinking concepts.

9:30-10:15 AM: Arts, Crafts & Sensory Play  

Unleash creativity! From painting to sensory exploration, there's something for every budding artist. We will practice socializing with peers, taking turns and sustained attention.

10:15-10:45 AM: Snack Time  

Recharge with a tasty snack! Perfect energy boost to keep the fun going strong. Snack time provides opportunities for regulation independence and social interaction. 

10:45-11:15 AM: Collaborative Activity  

This activity will be a gross motor activity that requires the kids to work together (ie relay race, minute to win it games) and navigate social communication.

11:15-11:45 AM: Gym Play 

Bouncing, climbing, and playing—let's make the most of our gym time and get the wiggles out! This focuses on children initiating play that our team can facilitate if needed. 

11:45-12:00 AM: Regulation Circle 

We again do body check-ins and reinforce the regulation and social thinking concepts for the day.  

 12:00-12:30 PM: Lunch

Enjoy a nutritious lunch with friends to refill those energy reserves.

12:30-12:45 PM: Closing  Circle  

We will do our final body check-in, identify which Zone we are in, review the day and our new regulation and social thinking concepts.

 12:45-1:00 PM: Dismissal 

The skills behind the fun

Emotional Regulation

Tools for the moments when feelings get big

Social Skills 

Joining in, taking turns, and sorting it out together

A camp built for your child

camp run by people who understand how your child works

Every day is led by an occupational therapist. Some kids need a running start, some need a quiet minute, some need to be upside down for a while. Our team notices what each child needs and builds it into the day. 

 

A full day together means real practice: deciding what to build, waiting for the zip line, sorting it out when two kids want the same thing. Our therapists step in where it helps and step back where it doesn’t.

 

Worth knowing: camp isn’t therapy and isn’t a substitute for it. Your child won’t be working on individual OT goals, and we aren't able to provide dedicated 1-on-1 support throughout the day. 

we want your child to thrive

is our camp the right fit?

Camp is designed for children 4-8 year olds 

You don’t need to be a Play 2 Progress family to join us, and your child doesn’t need a referral. Plenty of our campers meet us for the first time at camp.

Camp works best for children who can take part in a small group with light support — kids who have a few regulation strategies of their own and don’t need an adult alongside them for every activity. If you’re not sure whether that’s your child, give us a call and we’ll talk it through honestly.

frequently asked questions

About Camp

How is this different from a regular camp?

Everything you’d want from camp: running and climbing, new friends, something to bring home. All of it designed by occupational therapists who know how play builds skills. Our OTs design each day so the fun is doing real work: swinging builds body awareness, the group project builds give-and-take, the craft table builds the hand strength behind handwriting. It never feels like a lesson. Your child just knows they had a great week.

How is camp different from individual therapy?

In individual therapy, your child works one on one with their therapist toward goals written specifically for them, and you hear how it went at the end of every session.

 

Camp works differently. It’s a group, which means the day is about what happens between kids: joining a game, sharing an idea, sorting it out when plans change. Your child’s individual goals aren’t the focus, and there’s no end of day debrief the way there is after a session.

 

What camp gives them instead is five days of practice in a real social setting, with occupational therapists right there to help those moments go well. Plenty of families do both, and the two work well together.

Is camp the right fit?

Can my child join if they are not currently a P2P client?

YES! Camp is open to any child, whether you’ve been coming to P2P for years or have never been here before. No diagnosis or referral needed.

 

If your child is new to us, we’ll set up a quick screening call to hear about them, then invite you in for a 30-minute camp intro session. It’s a short, playful visit that lets us meet your child, show them the space, and make sure camp is the right fit before the first day.

Do you provide 1:1 Support?

We’re not able to offer one on one support during school break camps. Our break camps run with a smaller team than our summer program, so they’re designed for children who can take part in a small group with light support rather than a dedicated adult.

 

If your child needs one on one help through the day, our summer camp is the better fit, and we’re always happy to talk through what would work best.

Can I provide my own 1:1 Aide?

We’re not able to have outside support staff join camp. Our days depend on everyone working from the same approach, and our team’s goal is always to help a child stay in the activity rather than step away from it. That takes staff who are trained in our methods and know how each day is built.

 

We know many families work with wonderful aides, and this isn’t a reflection on them. It’s about keeping the group running the way we’ve designed it.

Does my child need to manage the bathroom on their own?

Campers need to manage the bathroom entirely on their own. That means using the toilet, wiping, and dressing and undressing without help.

 

Our bathrooms are private and single use, and staff don’t go in with children. We’re always glad to give reminders and encourage kids to go throughout the day, but we aren’t able to provide hands-on help.

 

Accidents happen, and that’s completely okay. Every kid has one now and then, and nobody at camp will make a thing of it. We just ask that your child be able to handle the bathroom themselves day to day, and that you pack a spare change of clothes.

 

If you’re not sure whether your child is there yet, give us a call.

Signing up

Can I sign up for individual camp days?

Do I need to complete paperwork before they start camp?

Yes. Before your child’s first day, you’ll complete an intake packet covering medical information, emergency contacts, and who’s authorized to pick up. We’ll send it over once you’re enrolled.

What is your cancellation policy?

We aren’t able to offer refunds or credits for cancelled camp days or weeks. Once you’ve enrolled, that spot is held for your child.

 

If your plans change, we’re happy to move your child to a different camp week when space allows, as long as you let us know at least 14 days ahead. Switching depends on availability, so the earlier you call, the better the chances

Do you take insurance?

No, camp is paid directly. Unlike our therapy sessions, camp is an enrichment program, so it isn’t something insurance covers.

Do you accept Self-determination or Regional Center funding?

P2P currently accepts self-determination from some FMS companies. Reach out to us at assistwh@play2progress.com and we will assist you with setting up payment through your FMS. We do require a deposit to hold your camp spot that we will refund to you once your FMS has paid for camp in full and you have completed all weeks of camp you are registered for. Please note that the deposit is non-refundable and your sole responsibility if you choose to cancel any weeks of camp outside of the cancellation window. 

The camp day

What are the hours, and when do I drop off and pick up?

Drop-off is between 9:00 and 9:15am, and pickup is between 12:45 and 1:00pm.

 

We know mornings don’t always go to plan, but we’d encourage you to aim for 9:15 so your child can be there for opening circle. It’s how the group starts the day together, and it makes everything that follows easier for them.

Late pickup is charged at $5 per minute after 1:00pm.

 

You’ll list everyone who’s allowed to pick up your child on your intake paperwork. Anyone collecting them will need to show ID, including you, so please don’t take it personally when we ask.

What should my child wear and bring?

Every day: a water bottle, lunch, a snack, and a change of clothes.

 

What to wear: comfortable clothes they can really move in. We’re barefoot or in grippy socks in the gym, so no regular socks please.

 

Please label everything. Water bottles, lunch boxes, jackets, spare clothes, all of it. A week of camp generates a remarkable number of orphaned sweatshirts.

 

If your child has a lovey or comfort object that helps them settle, they’re very welcome to bring it. We’d just ask that it isn’t anything irreplaceable, since camp is a busy place and things do occasionally get lost or sticky.

What about lunch and snacks?

Families pack their own food, and we ask that everything be nut free so camp is safe for everyone.

 

We have set snack and lunch times, and each child eats their own food rather than sharing. We’ll offer it, sit with them, and encourage them to eat, but we never pressure a child to finish anything. If your child doesn’t eat much at a meal, we’ll keep checking in through the day to see if they’re ready to try again. And if they’re hungry at any point outside of mealtimes, they’re always welcome to eat.

What if my child doesn’t know anyone?

Most of our campers arrive not knowing any of the other children, so your child will be in good company.

 

Before camp starts, your welcome packet includes a social story walking through a typical day, plus bios and photos of the therapists and counselors who’ll be there. We’d really recommend going through it together beforehand. Arriving already knowing the grown-ups’ names and a fun fact or two takes a lot of the unknown out of the first morning.

 

There’s also a “getting to know you” sheet for your child to fill in. We read through them as a group on day one, which is how the kids start learning about each other.

 

From there, the day is built for connection. Morning circle starts with names and how everyone’s feeling, and the activities are designed to get kids working and playing together rather than side by side. Our team helps those friendships along all week.

 

If your child is feeling nervous, just tell us at drop-off and we’ll keep a close eye. And if friendships form that families want to continue, we’re happy to pass along contact details so you can set up a playdate.

Can siblings come to the same camp?

Yes, and we often have siblings at camp together. Our age range covers 4 to 8, siblings close in age may be placed in the same group. 

Is there a charge for late pickup?

Yes. Pickup is between 12:45 and 1:00pm, and after 1:00pm we charge $5 per minute, billed to the card on file.

 

We know traffic happens, and this isn’t about catching anyone out. Our team needs to clean up, reset the space, and get to their next commitments, so we’re not able to stay late. If you’re running behind, please call and let us know.

Health and safety

My child has food allergies. How do you handle it?

Families complete medical forms before camp starts, and that’s where you’ll tell us about any allergies. If your child carries an EpiPen, we ask that it comes with them every day of camp. Our staff are trained to administer them.

 

We check every lunchbox each morning for nuts, and we can adjust seating at snack and lunch to keep your child away from anything they react to. If your child has a severe allergy, call us ahead of camp and we’ll talk through what else would help. We’re glad to put extra precautions in place.

Can you give my child medication during the day?

We can administer EpiPens and inhalers in an emergency. Beyond that, we aren’t licensed to give medication of any kind, including over the counter items like Tylenol.

 

If your child takes medication during the day, we’d ask that you plan doses around camp hours. Give us a call if that’s tricky and we’ll see what we can work out.

What if my child is sick?

We’re not able to offer makeup days or refunds for missed camp days, including for illness. Camp spots are held for your child for the whole week, and we’re not able to fill a day at short notice.

 

Our well child policy still applies at camp, so please don’t bring a child who isn’t well. If a child arrives sick or becomes unwell during the day, we will send them home. In a small group one bug travels fast, and we’d rather lose one day than the whole week for every family.

When would you call me during the day?

Camp is drop-off, so you’re free to head out once your child is settled. We just ask that you stay reachable.

We’ll call right away if your child is hurt beyond a small scrape or bump, and if we think they need medical attention we’ll ask you to come get them.

We’ll also call if your child is having a genuinely hard time and we haven’t been able to help them find their way back. We try everything first, because we’d much rather help a child stay. But when a child is really struggling, pushing through a whole morning can turn them off camp entirely, and a shorter day is usually the better call.

Going home early isn’t the end of camp. We’ll talk it through with you and come up with a plan for the next day. Most kids come back and have a great one.
