Our team of professionals also participate in March Break and Summer Camps run through Oakwood Academy.

Oakwood Academy offers a unique social skills camp for all campers ages 3-18 years old. A camp theme will be integrated into structured learning and social interactions, which aims to build on the individual goals of each camper in order to create new learning opportunities.

Using the DIR/Floortime™ Model framework, our highly-trained multidisciplinary team of instructors and therapists work with each family to focus on priority goals for the week. By incorporating joyful activities that are exciting and meaningful for each camper, learning social skills has never been more fun! New art, science, sensory, sport, and teamwork-inspired activities are uniquely designed to meet the goals and needs of each camper. At Oakwood Academy camp, we will encourage all campers to think, relate, and communicate with each other in a fun and meaningful way each day!

1:1 Transition and Social Skills Program

The 1:1 Transition Program is designed for campers 3-16 years of age who will benefit from one-on-one support to focus on goals relating to self-regulation, engagement, individual communication, academic skills, social skills, and life skills. Using the DIR/Floortime™ Model, therapists develop an individual program plan to meet each camper’s unique learning and sensory profile, and build on the camper’s Functional Emotional developmental Capacities (FEDCs). Campers in this program will also participate in group social activities with the support of their therapist.

6:2 Group Social Skills Programs

The Group Social Skills Program is offered in both junior and senior divisions for campers 5-18 years of age. This program is designed for campers who can participate in a group of 6 campers with a 3:1 camper to instructor ratio. Common goals for this program include: conversation, social problem-solving, pretend and fantasy play, understanding and exploring a variety of emotions, and perspective-taking. Using the DIR/Floortime™ Model, our group instructors will create a unique individualized program focusing on increasing each camper’s Functional Emotional Developmental Capacities (FEDCs) which will support their ability to think, relate, and communicate. Campers who may benefit from additional support will be enrolled with Level 2 support. Additional support will be determined during the intake and/or trial day process and can be re-evaluated throughout the program.
