Our 10th year of themed summer adventures will continue to keep our campers engaged and entertained! We have two components to our summer camps: Education and Recreation. The educational portion of our day will follow our popular S.M.A.R.T. Model (Sensory, Motor, Academic, Recreation, Technology). This is an opportunity for our campers to maintain, practice or gain new educational skills. The recreational portion of our camp will include games, sensory stations, art, music stories, discovery, special events and community outings. All activities will be designed to specifically cater to the interests and needs of our enrolled campers. Our camp hours are 9am-4pm for the summer of 2017 and run through the months of June, July and August. You may sign up for as many sessions as you choose. In certain cases, these internships and volunteer opportunities have lead to paid positions. We will require pre-service training hours and you must attend our internship and or volunteer meeting, once scheduled. What we are looking for is energetic, flexible and nurturing team members who are interested and passionate about working with children with special needs of all abilities. This is a great opportunity to learn and grow as a young professional!

Description
Who Are We?
It’s a Sensory World! is a center that offers a variety of multi-sensory educational, recreational, and therapeutic services for children with special needs and their families. Our unique programs bridge the gap between therapy and mainstream education and recreation.
Why Are We Different?
When we first opened in October 2007, we were the only center offering services supplemental to therapy in North Texas and one of only two in the country. We are the only center where parent empowerment is a central part of our mission.
We are the only center in North Texas that offers these unique bridge programs all in one center.
We have a large therapeutic gym which is typically only found in a therapy setting. Our gym is unique because it is open to the public, and we use it to provide the students enrolled in our many programs with the intense sensory input they need.
We have a unique, child-centered approach which blends multiple disciplines, including speech and language, sensory integration, behavior modification and special education.
