Pegasus Therapy is pleased to announce our fifth year of Summer Therapeutic Group! This year we are so excited to welcome Ms. Emily Sorbi, school counselor, back as camp co-director. Ms. Amy Seymore, occupational therapist, will be back as co-director of camp with special guest Ms. Ann-Bailey Lipsett, Masters in Special Education & advanced DIR/Floortime Certification, the week of August 1-5.
Location: 3500 Franconia Road Alexandria, VA 22310
We are running two separate camps this summer, The Great Escape, where students will participate in an escape room for the first part of the day, then work together to create their own escape room that will run on Friday for parents/ siblings to try out. Families receive a report at the end of camp reviewing strengths and weaknesses and suggestions to build skill over the rest of summer. This camp is best suited for rising 6th through 8th graders who could benefit from building executive functioning, teamwork and communication skills.
We will follow covid recommendations carefully to decide if the final escape room will be done virtually or in person. Parents/ siblings will log into a google meetup and a student will act as their proxy and walk the camera around the room according to directions of the participants or we will invite them to participate live.
Max enrollment 8, minimum enrollment 6.
