BrainWorks Neuro Camp

Our care sessions are engaging 5-day therapy events for kids aged 4-10. Think of it as summer camp for the brain! We know that the language of the brain is repetition; it’s the best way to learn new things. Because of this, we know that we can obtain exciting results when we give the brain challenges and opportunities for growth many times over a short period. At BrainWorks Neuro Camp, our patients participate in sensori-motor activities, between 1 and 4 sessions each day, over the course of five days.

 

This camp format was developed from many years of experience in working with kids and their families. We found that using the traditional model, seeing kids once every week or two over long periods, quickly becomes tedious, progress may lag and appointments can easily feel like a burden. With the camp-like format, kids are engaged and parents are excited and there is really a feeling that we’re getting something done. And we are.

 

While the week is certainly intense and requires quite a commitment, most families really appreciate being able to take bigger leaps toward their goal in a short amount of time. Because we can cover a lot of bases at once, we usually only recommend that patients return for re-evaluation every 2-3 months for the first year to see if further care is needed. It’s an exciting alternative.
