Enrichment Groups & Summer Camps

The Explorers Series

Growing Regulation, Friendship, and Teamwork—One Adventure at a Time

The Explorers Series is a structured, therapist-led enrichment experience designed to help children build the foundational skills they need to feel confident, connected, and capable in group settings.

Led by pediatric occupational therapists, each camp blends sensory-based learning, social skill development, and hands-on movement experiences in a predictable, supportive environment. Children benefit from visual schedules, consistent routines, small group sizes, and adult-guided modeling that makes learning feel safe and successful.

Our approach focuses on:

• Building regulation before expectation

• Teaching through movement and play

• Supporting connection through guided interaction

• Breaking skills into concrete, achievable steps

• Celebrating growth through repetition and success

The series progresses intentionally across three levels—meeting children where they are and gently expanding their skills.

How Progression Works

Level 1 → Focuses on regulating self
Level 2 → Expands into playing with others
Level 3 → Develops working together toward shared goals

Children do not need to “master” one level to benefit from another. Placement is based on readiness, not age alone. Our team is happy to help you determine the best fit.

The NeuroBuilders Series

Building Strong Connections. Confident Kids. Real-World Skills.

The NeuroBuilders Series is a small-group, occupational therapist-led program designed to strengthen the foundational skills children need for success in school, friendships, and daily life.

Through movement-based activities, hands-on engineering challenges, and structured peer collaboration, children build emotional regulation, executive functioning, coordination, and leadership skills in a supportive, engaging environment.

This is not a typical summer camp. It is a therapeutic, brain-body development program that helps children learn how to regulate, plan, problem-solve, and work successfully with others.

Children may enroll in one 4-week level or complete both levels for a progressive experience that builds confidence and independence over time.

Who Is a Good Fit?

NeuroBuilders is designed for moderately to fully verbal children who are able to participate safely in a small-group setting with minimal support. This program is appropriate for children who would benefit from targeted support with:

• Social interaction

• Emotional regulation

• Planning and organization

• Flexible thinking

• Executive functioning skills

If you are unsure which level is right for your child, our team can guide you through placement.

Two Progressive Levels

Families may enroll in one 4-week session or complete both for a progressive 8-week experience.
