ALL 2018 SUMMER CAMPS ARE FULL! THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST!
Pediatric Rehabilitation Services of Boulder Community Health is looking forward to another year of exciting summer activities! The goal of our program is to help children of all ages realize their greatest potential. Our treatment philosophy is to improve a child’s overall functional abilities while minimizing disabilities.
Our summer programs give children the opportunity to work on physical, social and language difficulties in exciting and challenging settings. With our high therapist to child ratio, activities can be tailored to meet the individual child’s needs and to carry over therapy goals.
Emphasis is placed on peer interaction and activities are designed to foster improvement in the areas of attention, language, communication, sensory processing, and physical coordination.
Our staff members are experienced and highly trained pediatric specialists. Physical and Occupational therapists are skilled in helping children use their muscles to explore their environment and in helping them to interpret and learn from information in their surroundings. Speech and language therapists assist children with communication of their thoughts and ideas. We also assist children who have learning problems or other difficulties in school. Therapists help children develop social skills in fun, natural settings.
Scholarships are available to help with camp costs. Families may also submit their bill for camp to private insurance or access flexible healthcare spending accounts. Please call for more information about funding possibilities.
Please select your camp(s) below by clicking on the "Sign Up Here" button. The link will ask for general information and give you directions for paying the $50 deposit.

All children will be screened to ensure appropriate group placement. We will make every effort to find a camp group that will meet your camper’s needs. We hope to assign each camp group in a way that facilitates a great camp experience for all. Parents will be notified regarding your child’s acceptance in our summer program after the registration deadline. Your deposit will be refunded if it is determined that our camp does not meet your child’s needs following the screening process.

A $50 deposit is required for all camps and is payable prior to staring the registration process. Enrollment in our summer camps assumes attendance and payment for all days of the camp. Full payment of the balance is required by the Monday of the week prior to the start of your child’s camp.
Food Explorers camp is designed to help picky eaters get down and dirty in the kitchen. We will explore the textures, smells, and tastes of foods from around the world. We will provide hands-on learning about where food comes from, why it is important for our body, and how to turn basic foods into delicious meals. Your child will participate in every aspect of mealtime from setting the table, to preparing ingredients, to cleaning dishes.
Outside of meal time, we will explore our tactile senses through play, potting plants, and turning food into art. We will also be working on sensory calming techniques to work through challenging mealtimes. With our experienced feeding specialists, we strive to turn your picky eater into a food-loving chef!
SOAR is a summer day camp for children ages 7 to 12. It is run in collaboration with Avid4 Adventure and is designed for children who have sensory processing, language, attention/learning, social skills and/or motor coordination difficulties. The camp will be run by two therapists from Boulder Community Health in coordination with the Avid4 Adventure staff. Campers will get to experience mountain biking, rock climbing, canoeing, hiking and kayaking in a safe and supportive environment that is customized to their needs and ability levels. Campers will also participate in team building/social games, have the opportunity to set personal goals and learn how to process the highs and lows of the day within the group setting. SOAR is a great way for children to gain confidence in outdoor activities while also building the skills needed for participation in our PEAK and SUMMIT sleep-away camps. Parents drop off and pick up their children at High Peaks/BCSIS Elementary, 3995 Aurora Ave. in Boulder.
Avid4 Adventure will provide transportation to the daily off-site activities.
SUMMIT is a 5 day overnight camp for children ages 12 to 16. The program has been designed as a continuation of the PEAK Adventure Camp in order to allow older children to further challenge themselves and to refine skills learned at previous camps. The camp is designed to meet the individual needs of the child and provides opportunities for children to work on social, motor, language, self care, sensory processing and self regulation skills in a supportive environment. SUMMIT camp will be more challenging than the PEAK camp and will include river rafting and outdoor camping experiences, as well as activities done on the BOEC grounds. This camp will be run by two therapists from Boulder Community Health in coordination with the BOEC staff. Parents drop off and pick up their children in Breckenridge at the Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center (BOEC).
