Enrich your child's world this summer with language learning! SELA’s Summer Program is full Spanish immersion, designed to engage children with or without prior language exposure! Families can sign up for as many weeks as they want, and schedules are extremely flexible! We also offer early morning drop-off as well as afternoon and evening extended programs for an extra cost.
This educational experience is based on the STEAM approach to learning, grounded in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics. Each week, children will learn and play, guided by a weekly theme. The themes are the same for all ages, but the depth of the projects varies greatly by age group. Our award-winning summer program offers full and part-time schedules with flexible day options!
This year, SELA will focus on the theme "Introducing Ecology" to provide new and intriguing ecological ideas to our students. We will delve into subjects over the summer that give students fresh means of investigation, experimentation, and understanding of the ecosystem and its place within it. While fully immersed in Spanish, children are continually engaged through SELA’s stimulating curriculum. In small classes assembled by age, teachers inspire the joy of learning each day!
Children are provided with the opportunity to explore and learn about the world around them. Students in the summer program will be exposed to engineering, math, science, and technology ideas through experiments and creative activities. Additionally, students in the Adventures program are given access to age-appropriate digital materials.

Willowbrook Farm, Pembroke - Couch Beach, Marshfield
Families are welcome to register for 1 or more weeks!
4-8 years old
$450 per week per child
It is 5 days of summer camp fun but through an Occupational Therapy lens. This means, each camp week has a maximum of 6 kids. There are 2-3 adults for the group, giving a high ratio of support and allowing us to focus on optimal child development skills. Does your child receive Occupational Therapy services during the school year? If so, this is a great opportunity to give your child the "camp" experience but in a supported environment!Many children who have a diagnosis can not attend "regular summer camp" because it is a free for all and has very little structure - making it challenging for some. We want to bring the Summer Camp experience to all children, including the ones we serve! But the kicker is that camp is going to be run by trained pediatric specialists who are prepared for a meltdown or a child becoming overstimulated. This way, parents can feel comfortable knowing their child is in good hands for the day. Camp is 100% outdoors, helping connect kids to nature and each other through outdoor exploration. Games and activities are modified so that all children can participate.Enrichment camp is not a free for all. It is a camp with trained pediatric specialists who are well equipped for challenges & big feelings that may arise. Parents will receive a note and/or video debrief at the end of each camp day so that they are in the know of what their child did during camp.
