Are mealtimes stressful?
Do you feel lost in supporting your child’s sensory needs when it comes to food?
Feeding is NOT as easy as taking a bite, chewing, and swallowing. Bearfoot's feeding camp approaches feeding and mealtimes with a strengths-based and neurodiversity-affirming lens to help parents honor and appreciate their child’s inner experience during meals. It's camp for your kid paired with parent coaching!

"Every camp before Bearfoot made me feel bad"
This is a heartbreaking quote from one of our kids when asked about previous summer camp experiences. And no wonder! Many of the camps out there are largely a fun free for all. Think about it - 20-30 kids running around, lots of unstructured time, well meaning high schoolers as camp counselors. But for some of our kids, they need something smaller, supportive, and more tailored to their needs.
Why Bearfoot OT camps?
Bearfoot OT camps provide a supportive, small group therapeutic environment for kids to have an awesome camp experience outdoors! Through a focus on peer play, social learning and building self regulation skills, Bearfoot OT offers a camp option that can provide your kid with the small group support they need to succeed at camp.
Your child will be having so much fun they won’t notice they are working towards goals!
Camp runs from 9:00am - 1:00pm, Monday-Friday.
Sign up for any and all weeks that work for your family!
Camp is limited to 6 kids per week, creating a small group experience that allows for growth and attention and helps kids to have fun while building motor, social and emotional skills. It is led by a skilled pediatric occupational therapist and assisted by OT graduate students and vetted volunteers.
