Kid-Capable Half Day Camp
Is your child interested in animals and the outdoors? Do they have challenges with their confidence and emotional regulation skills which impact their social world? If so, this is the camp for your child! This camp is designed to assist your child to increase skills beneficial to overcome barriers that that may be impacting them negatively. The first day is designed to get to know each other and the animals while the staff complete a functional assessment on each child. Tuesday through Thursday we work on skill building based on the group’s needs and partaking in activities based on their interests. The final day is a review and celebration day. Activities will include working with chickens, grooming and walking donkeys and horses and various other teamwork-based activities with the animals. At times we will incorporate various physical activity games, nature walks, crafts, art, and outdoor skills.
