Join us for fun outdoor camps and groups with a therapeutic twist

…or you can call it occupational therapy with an outdoor twist. Call it whatever you want, but know that your child will come home tired and happy, after a day of fun and friendship with the added benefit of learning skills for the future.

Is Friendship Explorations for your child?

  • Does your child have challenges with camp or group experiences?

  • Are you looking for a fun, typical outdoor experience for your child?

  • Would your child benefit from developing social, play and self-regulation skills?

  • When you send your son or daughter to camp are you concerned that you might receive a phone call asking you to come pick him/her up?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then Friendship Explorations is likely a good match for your child. Friendship Explorations is an outdoor based group for children ages 4 - 13, led by a licensed occupational therapist or speech therapist. We recognize the importance of good group dynamics and carefully consider both age and developmental level when organizing each session.

• Balance and Strength

• Problem solving

• Confidence building


“My son did Corry's "Friendship Explorations" summer camp and I cannot rave about it enough. He was giddy when I dropped him off in the morning. He was giddy when I picked him up. He loved using tools in nature and his imagination. He was able to show us what they did when we went back to the sites as a family. He liked talking about his "flexible brain." Really, I just can't state strongly enough how good it was for him. And, we got pictures and lengthy write-up at the end of the day. I really learned a little about parenting choices too. Plus, I had a question about something unrelated to camp (but related to my son), and Corry talked it out with me and gave great suggestions. Thank you, Corry!”
