Help ease the transition for young kids starting or heading back to school

Get Ready for School Camp

Students entering JK, SK or Grade 1

Facilitated by Brynne McArthur

Transitioning from the summer back to school, or starting school for the very first time, can be a big adjustment. Our Get Ready for School camp is a way to help parents and children with this transition.

Get Ready for School is an Occupational Therapist led group that focuses on easing children into the start of JK, SK, or Grade 1. In this half-day camp, we will focus on social-emotional skills, participating in a group, following directions, managing transitions, fine motor skill development, and more!

Each session of this half-day camp will follow this fun agenda:

  • Arrival & Circle Time 

  • Gross Motor Play 

    • Focus on regulation and following the group plan

  • Snack Break 

  • Outdoor Play 

    • Focus on building social skills & learning to play in/with a group

  • Sensory Activity/Arts & Crafts 

    • Focus on fine motor development

  • Lunch 

  • Dates & Time:
    August 18-22, 2025 (5 days)
    9:00 am - Noon

    Venue:
    The Red Oak Centre, 446 Spadina Road Suite 206 Toronto, ON M5P 3M2

    Cost:
    Fee is $1,000 for 5 days. You will be provided with an Occupational Therapy session receipt at the end of the camp.

    If an OT or SLP is not currently following your child at Red Oak, we will require a 50-minute intake session (at the facilitator’s rate) to ensure that group is the right next step for your child.
