Camp Mariposas

A summer camp program geared for young and school-aged children with speech and/or occupational therapy needs. Our summer camp program offers a unique perspective on helping children with specific speech, occupational, movement and sensory needs. Camp Mariposas creates opportunities for young children to engage in fun activities that enhance and facilitate their communication and sensory development. With licensed therapists, Camp Mariposas will ensure that every day of camp will foster the speech, language, social skill building and sensory/movement will be put into practice.

Groups

Music & Language

  • Created for children 3-5, our group has been providing a space for families to explore “Hands-on” activities and skill building through music and movement for nearly 20 YEARS!. Developed by a Speech Language Pathologist, we offer a supportive and creative environment that connects music with speech/language, self-confidence and socialization skills.
