Happy Summer!
We are excited to offer a one-day, in-person group for kids ages 5–12 on Sunday, June 15.
Summer is almost here, which means camp days, family vacations, changing routines, and lots of BIG emotions. While schedules may shift during the summer months, emotional challenges don’t simply disappear. In fact, transitions, overstimulation, social stressors, and disrupted routines can make emotional regulation even harder for children.
That’s why Emotion Detectives was created—a fun, engaging, and highly supportive one-day intensive group designed to help kids strengthen the emotional and social skills they need to thrive all summer long.
Kids Will Gain Confidence in Handling BIG Feelings
Through interactive games, movement activities, creative projects, role-playing, teamwork challenges, and hands-on learning, kids will become “emotion detectives” as they learn how to:
- Recognize emotions in themselves and others
- Understand the connection between feelings, thoughts, and behaviors
- Improve communication and social awareness
- Build empathy and perspective-taking skills
- Practice self-regulation and calming strategies
- Develop confidence navigating friendships, transitions, and everyday challenges
Cost
The cost is $300 and includes all supplies and materials.
What Makes This Program Different?
This is not your typical sit-down group. It’s an energetic, therapeutic experience designed to keep kids engaged while building meaningful emotional skills they can immediately use at home, camp, school, and in social settings.
Whether your child struggles with emotional regulation, anxiety, OCD, impulsivity, social challenges, or simply benefits from extra support and structure, this summer intensive offers a safe and empowering environment to grow.
Participants will leave with hands-on materials, take-home resources, a sense of connection, and FUN.
Registration Information
Spaces are limited to maintain a supportive small-group experience. Early registration is encouraged.
