Boost-Up Plus is a 3-week multisensory summer camp for children ages 5-11 that gives them the readiness skills they need to reach their full potential. The program incorporates developmentally appropriate gross motor, fine motor, auditory and vision work through a fun and challenging set of physical activities (obstacle course) designed for healthy brain development.
Class sizes are limited to nine participants. The class is led by an experienced S.M.A.R.T. trained educator, Patrick Dreher, MS, Special Education and Developmental Adaptive Physical Education teacher
“Every child has their own starting point and progress means different things for different people,” says Patrick. “We begin with an initial assessment to see where the child is and identify what skills we want to work on over the course of the camp. We make individualized adaptations as much as possible, and the obstacle course changes from day to day.”
The course includes activities like belly crawling, balance beams, overhead ladders, fine motor work stations and more. “We meet the students at their level by making the course incrementally harder or easier, depending on their individual needs. They appreciate the changes and that excitement fuels their motivation to reach their potential for that day.”
This program has been around for nearly 30 years and has proven to help children struggling with issues related to balance, coordination, reading, comprehension, attention and focus.
