Spring Break Camp: Motion Picture Studio Meets Cognitive Growth

In Partnership with Minds of Tomorrow (MoT)

This Spring Break, The Paper Tree House invites your child to embark on an exciting journey of creativity and cognitive development. In collaboration with Minds of Tomorrow, we’ve designed a program that combines the magic of movie-making with evidence-based cognitive training to create a transformative experience.

A Program Rooted in Brain-Based Cognitive Training

At The Paper Tree House, we utilize a comprehensive, brain-based approach to cognitive development that integrates mind and body. Our program is rooted in evidence-based techniques such as NILD Educational Therapy, Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment (FIE), Structure of Intellect (SOI), and Equipping Minds.

These methods are designed to strengthen foundational cognitive skills, including working memory, attention, processing speed, logic, comprehension, and executive functioning. By addressing these core areas, we aim to equip individuals with the tools they need to overcome learning challenges and unlock their full potential.

This is not a sporadic set of exercises but a structured, intentional program that fosters long-term cognitive growth and integration, empowering children to thrive academically and in life.

Cognitive Functions We’ll Target

Throughout the week, your child will engage in activities designed to develop:

Working Memory: Enhance the ability to hold and use information, crucial for problem-solving and following instructions.
Attention Control: Strengthen focus and reduce distractions, helping your child stay on task.
Emotional Regulation: Learn strategies to manage frustration, anxiety, and other emotions during challenges.
Cognitive Flexibility: Adapt to changing rules, pivot between tasks, and think creatively.
Planning and Organization: Build the skills to prioritize, set goals, and create action plans.
Impulse Control: Practice patience and thoughtful decision-making in exciting, fast-paced activities.

This structure ensures the day begins with focused cognitive training and integration activities, while the creative, hands-on MoT activities provide an exciting and engaging conclusion to the day.

Minds of Tomorrow (MoT) Activities

Each day, Minds of Tomorrow will lead your child through hands-on activities that explore the world of filmmaking, from designing props to recording and editing. These activities are not just fun but also foster critical cognitive and executive function skills.

Monday (Pirate Day):

Pirate Treasure Hunt: Enhances problem-solving, planning, and teamwork through designing pirate hats and boats and navigating Sphero robotics.
Pirate Movie: Develops creativity, working memory, and collaboration as kids storyboard and animate their own pirate movie using the Toontastic app.

Tuesday (Fantasy Camp):

Navi Avatars: Builds cognitive flexibility, attention to detail, and visual-spatial skills by retouching photos in Procreate to create personalized avatars.
Slope Motion: Strengthens patience, perseverance, and critical thinking through stop motion animation.

Wednesday (Superhero Camp):

Flying Superheroes: Encourages self-monitoring and creativity as kids animate themselves as flying superheroes using Procreate and Do Ink Animation.
Superhero Soundtrack: Develops critical thinking and emotional expression through creating personalized soundtracks in Garageband.

Thursday (Space Camp):

Lightsabers: Promotes task initiation, time management, and imagination as kids build lightsabers and costumes for their movie scenes.
Floating in Space: Enhances planning and sequencing skills through storyboarding and filming a space-themed movie.

Friday (Xplore Camp):

Jungle Rover: Strengthens problem-solving and collaboration as kids design and build jungle rovers for their adventure movie.
Filming with Drones: Improves attention control, visual-motor integration, and teamwork as kids learn to operate drones and record footage.

Why is This Important for Your Child?

Many children struggle with executive function skills, which can manifest as difficulty focusing, following through on tasks, or managing emotions. These challenges often hinder academic performance, social relationships, and self-confidence.

Our program is equivalent to a mini-intensive, designed to kickstart the body-mind integration that so many children need. By combining creative play with targeted cognitive training, we aim to address the root causes of these difficulties, not just the symptoms.

Through this camp, your child will:

Gain tools to improve focus and academic performance.
Build confidence in their ability to tackle challenges.
Experience the joy of hands-on learning and personal growth.
Begin a journey of untethering their potential and setting their minds free.

Why Animal Encounters?

Research shows that interacting with animals can enhance emotional regulation, reduce stress, and improve focus. Whether it’s meeting Lizzie the Bearded Dragon or Greta the Dachshund, these experiences provide a calming and grounding effect, helping children integrate their cognitive and emotional skills.

This Spring Break Camp is more than just a week of fun – it’s an investment in your child’s future. Together, we’ll help them unlock their potential and set them on a path toward academic and personal success.

Spaces are limited, so don’t miss out!
