The C.A.M.P. Program

What is the Speech Language Pathology in Motion C.A.M.P. Program?

The C.A.M.P. Program is a week long speech and language enrichment program with a "camp like" feel.  In this program, children are encouraged to Communicate, Articulate, Make Friends and Play through interactions with animals and a number of exciting activities with peers including horseback riding, swimming, arts & crafts, language games, sensory play, playground and group lunch.  Each activity is led by a licensed speech language pathologist. Goals are selected for each child, and these goals are targeted throughout each activity, all week long.  In addition general goals such as socialization, eye contact and attention are targeted for all participants.  Targeting speech and language skills in this setting  makes learning fun.  Participants develop critical speech and language  skills, while also having a positive summer experience.  


We offer a highly supported week.  Each child is provided with a 1:1 aide and 2 group leaders. 

Future SLPs

The program is unique in that it also serves as a learning experience for future speech language pathologists.  Our group leaders, group supports and 1:1 aides are currently studying speech language pathology.  We are so excited to have future speech language pathologists as part of this program, as this not only gives our participants the opportunity to work with these skilled individuals, but also allows the future speech language  pathologists to gain hands on experience with children with speech and language difficulties and learn from fully licensed SLPs.

Parent Testimonials:

  • "This experience is exactly what "J's" dad and I envision for a summer program for him.  Being outside, being with peers, being with horses, being in the water...all while being surrounded by speech students and therapists who can carryover skill practice and just give him a fun experience in the sun..amazing!  For my "non-verbal, non-ambulatory boy" to have a typical "camp week" is just incredible.  Thank you!"

  • "The C.A.M.P. Program for my son has been truly a wonderful and positive  experience.  "A" has been more engaged, initiating play with his sister and more talkative with his family.  "A" has gained confidence and that has given him the ability to feel secure communicating and initiating at home.  We are very pleased with his progress.  The C.A.M.P. Program was  the exact program I was looking for my son, and I would highly recommend it.  I love how they focus on the kids abilities and their successes in a positive way.  It gives them an all-around experience in arts, sports, horseback riding, and games to experience with one another and a proper support system."

  • "M" had such a wonderful time at the C.A.M.P. Program!  We loved the information sheets that were sent home each day.  We are so happy that  "M" was able to attend the program during her time off from school, when  she would most likely regress.  I think her teachers will be pleasantly surprised when she goes back to school in September.  Fabulous job  everyone!!" 

  • In  just a week, "C" is making more sounds and trying to speak more.  She seemed very happy when I picked her up each day, and she was excited to go each morning!"
