SUMMER CAMPS

Social Sprouts Camp

Session 1 - Social Sprouts: This week, our social sprout campers will practice social thinking and pragmatic language concepts, such as the group plan, size of the problem, expected and unexpected choices, flexible and stuck thinking, perspective taking, and zones of regulation. These are all helpful and necessary concepts for students to regulate their emotions and successfully interact with peers and will be targeted through crafts, small group activities, and structured play time.

Session 2 - Language Intervention through Cooking: Students will learn about cooking, following recipes, and engaging with others in the kitchen all while targeting language skills, pragmatic skills, social thinking concepts, and sensory integration. The kiddos will be in the kitchen during this hands-on and tasty week of camp, practicing turn taking, vocabulary and describing, following directions, and much more -- all while enjoying a yummy treat!

Session 3 - Lego Camp: Lego camp is a hands-on, interactive, creative play and building camp. Students will focus on problem solving, vocabulary expansion, and teamwork to build various lego creations. Creativity is a must! Social thinking concepts, such as the zones of regulation, size of the problem and perspective taking, will be targeted to help students successfully build lego creations and interact with peers.

Session 4 - Language Leaps: Language Leaps camp will heavily focus on language intervention. With a different story book each day, (Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood, etc.), the kids will get to do fun crafts, sequencing activities, practice answering wh- questions, and discuss characters and setting. After all of these fun activities, we will practice story retell and pretend to act out the story with props and costumes!
