About Camp
This unique social skills immersion experience (essentially an extended therapeutic play group) allows for all the individualized attention that the play group provides with the consistency of 3 hours per day 3 days per week for up to 3 weeks at a time. With a maximum of 6 children, Karen Wolfe as the lead facilitator, and two skilled therapeutic professionals assisting we dive deeply into what it means to connect to yourself in order to connect to peers. Touching on skills of self-regulation, emotional intelligence, confidence, perspective-taking, and offering tools to make the changes last. Children who participate in this camp experience always walk away with amazing new skills and (literally) a tool-bag from which to draw when challenges arise in the future.
Drawn from evidence-based practices, this small play group gives your child tools to improve social skills, emotional intelligence and self-confidence in a safe and highly interactive environment. Games and coaching are provided to teach your child skills in successfully navigating the social arena including topics such as joining in play with peers, handling frustration and disappointment, creating mutually joyful friendships, successfully resolving conflicts, reading nonverbal social cues, expressing yourself authentically and kindly, and maintaining attention & organization. All activities are play-based and many incorporate occupational therapy sensory regulation strategies, emotional management techniques, and all incorporate self-awareness, creativity, and fun!
