S.L.A.M. Summer Camp

S.L.A.M. Camp is a vibrant, full-day summer camp designed for children aged 6-11 who are one or more years behind in literacy due to a diagnosed, suspected, or identified reading disability (like dyslexia). We combine fun, learning, and personal growth in a supportive environment where every child is celebrated.

Each morning, campers dive into engaging literacy activities that build phonics skills, sight word recognition, and reading fluency. Our approach is hands-on and playful, helping kids feel confident and capable as they strengthen their reading abilities.

Afternoons are all about building confidence, self-esteem, and emotional regulation through games, group discussions, recreation, and creative activities. We focus on helping kids thrive socially and emotionally, using fun and interactive methods to develop coping skills and positive behaviours.

Our team is trained to work with children who have learning differences. With a low adult-to-child ratio (no more than 10 kids per group and at least 2 trained staff members per group), each child gets the attention and encouragement they deserve. Plus, every camper receives personalized one-on-one reading support from a qualified instructor throughout the week.

Please note: We cannot provide one-to-one behavioural support. In order for each child to benefit from the program every child must be able to work in a group setting without demonstrating a need for one-on-one behavioural support.
