From our imaginative and loving Stepping Stones program to our challenging and creative Main Camp program, everyone is excited about summer 2015! With this in mind, we wanted to introduce and share with you two new programs to Southampton Camp & Club for 2015 for those campers who just fall outside of our 2.5-11 year old range.

EnrichAbility (18-36 months) facilitate by EnrichAbility & Shari’s Little Learners
EnrichAbility success, materialshelps your child become comfortable following a school routine while having fun. Each class has a weekly theme based on a story. Learning takes place through story time, snack time, an art project, music, meeting time and more! Since repetition and consistency are key components to early learning, lessons and routines are constantly being reviewed while new material is being introduced. We believe these 6 “abilities” are key to improving a child’s early academic and social success.
- LanguageAbility: Increase a child’s receptive and expressive language skills, build vocabulary and increase a child’s ability to ask and answer questions.
- SocialAbility: Improve a child’s ability to interact and play with peers. Improve turn-taking skills and listening skills. Increase attention span during structured activities
- MathAbility: Improve knowledge of age appropriate concepts- numbers, shapes, and colors. Improve matching skills and counting skills.
- MotorAbility: Increase a child’s exposure to different exploratory textures. Improve fine motor skills through use of various manipulatives (crayons, Pegs, etc). Improve gross motor skills through music and games (jumping, dancing, etc).
- LiteracyAbility: Enhance a child’s love for story and books. Improve a child’s understanding of a story. Increase a child’s letter recognition skills. Introduce a child to letter sounds.
- TransitionAbility: Improve a child’s ability to transition from one activity to the next. Begin to transition away from parent or caregiver and increase separation skills.
EnrichAbility will be offered as a Mommy & Me or a separation program once a week on the grounds of Southampton Camp & Club. Please contact Lisa Colwell for more information on 917-208-6076.
