The staff to camper ratio will be 1:3. GROSS & SENSORY MOTOR SKILLS Our day will consist of a lot of gross and sensory motor activities. We will have a general theme each day but we will also remain flexible to help the children plan and execute their own ideas. We will do water play, mud play, swinging, climbing and learning to play traditional games such as Red Light Green Light, Red Rover Red Rover and even Duck Duck Goose! If you have a favorite childhood game, please share it with us! FINE MOTOR SKILLS Each day we will spend time on crafts, pre writing/fine motor activities and writing development, depending on the developmental level of the children in the group. With children who are ready to write we will use the “Handwriting Without Tears Program”. SENSORY INTEGRATION AND DIR/FLOORTIME Free play will be an important component of our day, typically during outdoor sensory motor play and during indoor “stations time”. During these free periods we will incorporate the DIR/Floortime and Sensory Integration philosophies to help the children at each developmental level. PEER INTERACTION & PROBLEM SOLVING Because we will have a low student/adult ratio we will be able to have several groups of children working at different levels and seeing each other and helping each other. The environment will be rich in sensory experiences and helping children learn self regulation skills and how to play with others. Throughout the day we will be working on peer interactions, problem solving, self regulation and co-regulation as well as higher order skills otherwise known as executive skills. We will also use Reuven Feurstein’s Instrumental Enrichment Program, the Mediated Learning Experience (MLE). We will be using the Basic Instruments for preschoolers and early elementary school students. Please have your child wear a bathing suit under their clothes and bring an extra change of clothing and a towel. (Remember to put your child’s name on their clothing.) We will provide extra sunscreen but if you or your child has a preference please send it in their backpack with their name on it. A snack will be provided each day and some days we will incorporate a cooking activity.
