Summer Camps 2024

Therapeutic Social Learning Camps

Speak Easy Communication & Education and Grow Together Therapeutic Learning Services Ltd will be providing Therapeutic Social Learning Summer Camps for children ages 4-16. Themed camps will be provided weekly for different age groups with each camp consisting of 3-6 children per group.

These camps will focus on improving your child’s social competencies which will include:

    • Self- regulation
    • Social emotional learning
    • Executive functioning
    • Perspective taking
    • Social problem solving

Older students are encouraged to demonstrate social learning mentoring with their younger peers, to build their self-esteem and social problem-solving competencies.  Moving into a leadership role encourages reinforcement of skills they have learned, and provides positive role models for the younger students. It also provides younger students with role models who can share their life experience and share what works for them.
