SummerSHINE

Our focus is fostering play, fun, and friendships, while still targeting strength building, regulation, skill development and confidence!

Summer programs at kidSHINE are an opportunity for our clients and for kiddos in the community to SHINE!  Discover a range of engaging options designed to make this summer unforgettable for both our clients and kiddos in the community! We’re thrilled to present three exciting ways to play: Week long programs, summer weekly groups, and August intensives. Activities are therapist-designed, led by our team of trained kidSHINE therapists and staff and bolstered by our unique philosophy.

3 Ways for Your Children to SHINE This Summer

Themed Camp Week Programs

Each week of summer, we will offer a 4 day, theme-based 3-hour camp, tailored to specific age groups. These camps not only feature some structured, skill-building activities but more importantly focus on providing unstructured activities for organic peer relationship development. Open to both our clients and the wider community, our goal is to create a unique blend of learning and fun in a supportive group setting.

Specific Skills Weekly Programs

This summer we will be offering skill-specific groups meeting 1x/week or 2x/week, available in our Rowley and Amesbury locations. These more structured and therapeutic programs cater to specific skills, fostering positive dynamics. Open to both our clients and former clients, they’re crafted to help kiddos achieve their pre-established goals.

August Intensives

In August, exclusively for KidSHINE clients, we offer week-long, skill-specific intensive programs. Tailored for specific age groups and skill targets, these intensives provide a focused opportunity to target skills, goals, and activities daily within a 1 or 2-week timeframe. Recommended by therapists, these intensives offer a personalized, immersive experience.

Don't miss the chance to make this summer SHINE!

Explore our diverse programs and join us for a season of growth, fun, and connection.

If your child requires 1:1 support for success in any of our group programs, please email Amy to discuss our 1:1 support options.
