What's included

Homework is optional. Outschool requires that I offer some form of evaluation for this camp. Homework will not be evaluated by me rather it is offered as a way for students to have fun practicing their skills at home. Parents may choose to complete the homework or choose to omit the homework. Once you enroll in class you will be emailed a list of 5 different fun engaging activities that your child can practice as homework to reinforce the skills learned in camp.Class Experience
Join us for a week-long journey of friendship and fun in our online social skills camp designed for young explorers aged 7-10! Our summer camp is a dynamic and engaging program that helps children develop essential social skills through interactive storytelling, games, and creative activities. Each day focuses on a different aspect of social interaction, fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where kids can learn and grow together. Each day, a brief review of the preceding day(s) lesson will be added into the class to ensure students are building their knowledge of social skills throughout the course. Our camp employs a supportive teaching style that ensures every child feels valued and encouraged. The classes will be taught using a combination of slides, lecture, and group discussions to cater to different learning styles and keep the sessions engaging and interactive. I am passionate about helping children develop social skills in a fun and engaging manner. I will create a supportive environment where every child feels valued and encouraged to participate.
