Canyon Kids Adaptive Outdoor Adventure Programs

Canyon Kids has teamed up with Dave Ritter, Outdoor Leadership Trainer, Guide and Director of Bretton Woods Outdoor Adventure Program to create a new program called Bretton Adaptive. 

We offer one on one and small group outdoor recreational outings like kayaking, ropes course, hiking and wilderness exploration for children and teens of all abilities and needs. These outings are happening during the 2018-2019 school year, afterschool, on select weekends and days off of school. 

During the summer, we offer our Integrated Summer Outdoor Adventure Camp. This is a multi week camp where campers participate in adventures based out of Bretton Woods Recreation Center on the banks of the Potomac River in rural Maryland. This camp accepts 1-3 campers each week from June 2019-August 2019. They will be paired with a trained adventure guide and participate with similarly aged peers in Bretton Woods Outdoor Adventure Camps and Day Camp. Activities can include zip lines, giant slip and slides, hiking, kayaking and swimming.

Oscar Nominated film and book Life, Animated is about the life of Owen Suskind. Owen was diagnosed with autism at the age of 3. He lost speech and it seemed his ability to connect to others until his family started to use the very thing that he loved: Disney Animated Film. This is a beautiful story of using a child's affinity to bring us all together. Christine Sproat had the priviledge to work as Owen's OT from the time he was 5 years old starting at a Sensory Integration Camp. Owen is now in his twenties, graduated from an adaptive college program and is living on his own in a supervised communilty with his dog Guss.

 Leaping Lizards

Sensory and Handwriting Summer Camp 

At Canyon Kids Pediatric Occupational Therapy Services

Canyon Kids is proud to offer our 5th annual Leaping Lizards summer camp!  Our camp will focus on improving fine motor, handwriting, motor planning and social skills to better prepare for Kindergarten and 1st grade.

We will use sensory integration strategies and curriculums including: Handwriting without Tears, Fine Motor Olympics and Social Thinking to support the development of those skills. Each day your child will participate in circle time, creating a collective mural during tactile time, sensory rich obstacle courses, arts and crafts activities, handwriting a letter of the day, and make-your-own snack.  

We will provide a fine motor kit that your child will take home each week, along with a dry erase binder with handwriting activities. Staff will be comprised of Canyon Kids Occupational Therapists and experienced camp volunteers will also be present to maintain a small counselor-to-camper ratio.

Runs for 4 weeks in July
