Each day is designed to foster your child's growth and development in a way that traditional recreational programs can't match. Led by skilled occupational therapists (OTs), our camp is explicitly tailored to address your child's unique goals, ensuring personalized attention and care. 

We understand that children may sometimes experience moments of dysregulation, and during these times, we focus on reinforcing emotional regulation skills rather than using punishment. Our approach emphasizes providing tailored support to help your child navigate challenging feelings, empowering them with practical tools to manage their emotions.

We prioritize dynamic peer-to-peer interactions, equipping children with the tools they need to navigate their social connections confidently. We aim to spark playfulness and foster open communication among peers, creating a vibrant environment where friendships can flourish and meaningful exchanges occur. We focus on initiating and sustaining group play, teamwork, play ideation, pretend play, competitiveness, and turn-taking. 

Each day introduces a new social skill or topic, equipping your child with essential tools and strategies you can continue to use at home, at school, and throughout your family's lives. We'll provide daily session notes and constructive feedback so you stay informed about your child's progress and achievements. Join us for a purposeful journey that blends fun with focused learning and encourages emotional resilience!

All children in camp will have difficulty regulating to a certain degree. Children exhibiting physical aggression or struggling to regulate in group situations may require a 1:1 shadow during their camp session to ensure a supportive environment. Families have the option to arrange for an outside shadow or request our assistance in providing one. Please inquire about availability as we do have a limited number of 1:1 shadows.

We understand that each child has different goals they are working towards in OT. Each child interested in camp is carefully screened to ensure that this is the best fit for them to continue progressing toward those goals. Our team of OTs will recommend OT camp if it is the most beneficial for your child and connect you with other services if it is not.
