Camps & Activities *

SPORTS FOR KIDS Our Tengelsen Family Foundation Sports for Kids program offers adaptive sports, social, arts, cultural and camp opportunities for kids ages 7 to 17 with a diagnosed primary loss or impairment of physical function. SUMMER CAMPS Each camp includes a schedule of fun activities with a specific area of focus. A physician referral/prescription is required to participate in these camps. Power Play: Constraint-induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) Camp Led by our pediatric occupational therapists, Power Play is a four-week program that focuses on improving upper-extremity function in children who have spastic hemiplegia or hemiparesis as a result of cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, stroke or other diagnoses.

This program utilizes the CIMT protocol, which calls for restraining the unaffected arm, thereby requiring use of the affected arm for all functional activities. Camp activities include games, art projects, outings, sensory play activities, bimanual activities and self-care. Stride Through Summer: Gait Camp Led by our pediatric physical therapists, Stride Through Summer is a four-week program for children focused on high- intensity exercise and activities to improve gait, balance, strength and endurance. Language Explorers: Speech Camp Language Explorers is an intensive therapy group that focuses on improving receptive and expressive language skills through peer interaction and group participation. Group activities to foster language skills include reading books together, singing songs and doing language-based crafts.
