Pegasus Therapy is pleased to announce our sixth year of Summer Therapeutic Group! Ms. Amy Seymore, occupational therapist, will be back as head of camp with special guest Ms Audrey Awa, COTA, the week of August 1-5 and other special guests to be announced.
Location: 3500 Franconia Road Alexandria, VA 22310
Our traditional camp Ready Bodies, Learning Minds is back in our preferred 30 hours/ week format this summer. Parents will receive a report at the end of the week reviewing strengths and weaknesses and suggestions to build skills over the rest of summer. This camp is best suited for rising Kindergarten through 2nd graders (June 24-28) or mixed grade K-5th graders (July 1-5). Participants will leave each week with a smile as well as a new foundation for core strength and endurance, self regulation, social problem solving, executive functioning skills, and mindfulness techniques. We will review (or teach) Zones of Regulation and utilize Social Thinking language to build social and self regulation skills.
We have a very limited number of counselor in training (CIT) positions open to students 7th grade and up for these two weeks of camp. CIT's will always be under direct adult supervision. Students will be expected to interview and fulfill the requirements of the job, but will receive more guidance and job training than a traditional first job. CIT's will meet with an adult at the end of each day and will receive black and white advice and mentorship to support an understanding of what a job might be like. This is an excellent first step towards employment, and CIT's can receive a letter of recommendation or list us as a reference after a successful week (30 hours). Due to the level of adult involvement and support a CIT position will cost $250 for the week.
Max enrollment 8, minimum enrollment 6. Child to adult ratio will be a maximum of 4:1
Schedule
9:00 - 9:45 -- Drop off/ water slide outdoor play
9:45 - 10:00 -- Opening circle/ schedule review

Cost: $700/ week if enrolled before May 1, $800/ week after May 1

In Teambuilding Masters, students will participate in a week long plan to create and execute their own special project- maybe a carnival, play, life size board game, escape room, or art gallery. The participants will decide! Families receive a report at the end of camp reviewing strengths and weaknesses and suggestions to build skill over the rest of summer. No phones/ screens will be utilized by campers during the day except for communication home with parents during designated times. This camp is best suited for rising 5th through 8th graders who could benefit from building executive functioning, teamwork and communication skills. (Grade range is a suggestion, maturity level is more important so please reach out with any questions).

Please email Amy to discuss if your child is developmentally appropriate for this group. If there is strong interest for ages outside the range listed we will make every effort to get staff to support their participation.
