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.
