Catalyst Farm hosts summer day camps in June, July, and August. While the camp is not a therapy session, we provide opportunities to facilitate each child's goals while participating in camp activities. The activities included will address skills such as fine motor, gross motor, sensory motor, communication, and social interaction. Each week will include time with the animals and other activities such as gardening and art. Although therapists run these camps, we welcome children of all abilities. It is clear to see that children with special needs and typically developing children benefit from working together.

OT/PT/SLP: The opportunities to address fine motor, sensory motor, gross motor as well as speech and language goals are endless on the farm! Goals are achieved using brain-based research that indicate fun is a necessary component for learning. We can find a way to incorporate fun farm activities into any therapy goal! Tasks like grooming, feeding and playing with the animals address skills such as sensory processing, range of motion, strengthening, balance, crossing midline, following directions, attention, working together, communication, patience and taking turns.

Counseling: Catalyst Farm provides counseling services for children and adolescents who are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-worth, emotional growth, behavioral management, and other issues. Therapy sessions are tailored to fit the needs of each child utilizing the farm animals, games, art and the child’s strengths. All animal-related activities take place on the ground and are interactive and meant to approach the counseling session in a more relaxed, non-judgmental fashion. The farm animals are responsive to the emotions of the children, and react accordingly leading to many opportunities to address thoughts, feelings, and behaviors all while having fun!
