HELPING YOU CLIMB TO COMMUNICATION SUCCESS

"Let's Read" Summer Camp

Who is this day camp designed for?

The program is designed for children entering Grade 1 up to Grade 3 (or 6-8 years old). Whether your child is just learning to read or may be a struggling reader, we are here to help! **We will be looking to offer a program for older children at a later date.

Why is it Imporant that my child attend this day camp?

Literacy is one of the most important skills and predictors of a child’s academic success. The foundational skills for reading are referred to as phonemic awareness skills. The camp program is also designed with the elementary school curriculum in mind. All of this, plus…fun games, songs and activities will motivate and capitivate the child’s attention.

When is the day camp?

8:30 am to 4:30pm
Please pack peanut-free 2 snacks, lunch and drink.
Hat and sunscreen for outside time.

Where is the camp located?

The camp will be offered through the Heritage Green Family Church located at 360 Isaac Brock Rd in Stoney Creek. The Church space is safe, clean and welcoming. This is not a religious program, but we are grateful to our Church partner for investing in the children of our Stoney Creek community.

Who will be leading the camp?

Melissa Mascio is the owner and registered Speech Language
Pathologist at Mountain Speech Language Services. Paul Mascio is a
certified Ontario teacher with over 20 years of teaching experience. A
Communication Disorders Assistant (CDA), and trained volunteers
(undergrad students) will also be assisting. The ratio will be 1 instructor to 3-4 children ensuring plenty of small group and 1:1 time. We will provide a screening of your child’s reading ability and a summary of progress at the end of the camp week. A receipt will be provided to reflect (3 hours of direct therapy/week) and this can be submitted to extended health benefits.

Alex Douglas, Pastor at the Church will also be reading to the children
each day. If you haven’t heard Alex read, you are in for a treat!
Melissa and Paul are passionate about helping children climb to
academic success and have put a lot of thought into creating a day
camp that would not only be fun and motivating, but educational.
