Summer Camp: Creating Confident Printers

 

Fine Motor Camp - Printing Basics

May/June 2022

 

A four-week fun and interactive camp for children in grades 1 - 3 who find printing or other fine motor activities challenging. The camp will be run by an experienced pediatric Occupational Therapist. A multi-sensory approach combining fine and gross motor movement to enhance learning will be used along with co-operative games and crafts to practice the skills needed for hand functioning.

 

The camp places an emphasis on grasp development, formation of lower-case letters, legible printing, copying shapes and letters, using school tools (pencils, scissors, glue), in hand manipulation skills, eye hand coordination and strength.

 

Also included is a short summary report identifying individual children's strengths, areas of need, and suggestions for further skill development will be provided. The summary report will be provided at the end of the group for parents to learn how to support their child with printing practice at home.

 

This camp is designed for children who may be experiencing mild to moderate delays in fine motor development or would benefit from extra practice.
