Tired of the summer slump? This summer, help your child beat the boredom and build important self-regulation skills by learning about all EIGHT senses in a playful, hands-on way.
If you’ve ever tried to explain sensory processing to a child, you know it’s not easy. Words like vestibular and proprioception can feel like a foreign language—and most of the resources out there are written for adults, not children. And when you do find something for children, it usually only covers the five basic senses.
That’s exactly why I created the My Senses Summer Day Camp. I wanted to make it easier for parents, educators, and therapists to introduce the full picture of sensory processing in a way that’s fun, engaging, and totally age-appropriate. Think summer camp meets sensory learning—with plenty of hands-on activities and playful discovery along the way!
Understanding how their bodies work—and why they respond to the world the way they do—can benefit every child, not just those with sensory processing challenges. When kids can make those connections, they’re better able to express how they’re feeling and what they need. That’s a powerful skill for self-awareness and self-regulation!
With the My Senses Summer Day Camp, you won’t have to wonder how to explain complex sensory concepts to young kids. I’ve taken care of that for you! Each of the 8 sensory systems comes with a simple, ready-to-read script you can use word-for-word. Then, keep the learning going with optional videos, book suggestions, and fun, hands-on activities that bring each sensory system to life.
Your child will start each day with a “Sensory Word of the Day,” dive into playful activities that explore that sense, and even enjoy snack ideas specially chosen to match the sensory system being explored. There’s also a coloring page for each day—perfect for reinforcing what they’ve learned in a fun and creative way.
This program makes learning about the senses meaningful, engaging, and developmentally appropriate for kids ages 3–9.
What Others Are Saying…
“My Senses Summer Day Camp was such a phenomenal experience for my 5 and 3-year-old! They enjoyed the multiple approaches used to teach each of the senses including the crafts, exploring smells and tastes, and trying new games! A year later and they are still asking to do it again!” – Kati, mom of 3 children.

“Oh my goodness!! What a fun and comprehensive resource! Whether you are schooling year round or just looking to supplement your child’s summer learning in a fun way; “My Senses Summer Day Camp is perfect!
The supply list is a godsend and so helpful to ensure I don’t procrastinate the summer away! Heather has laid all the activities out in such a way that I really didn’t have to spend hours planning & I was able to spend the time with my girls rather than search the internet trying to organize all my thoughts.
My youngest didn’t even realize she was learning, yet she recalled many of the activities to share with my husband at dinner time. I love the hands-on learning experience as it really is a fabulous fit for every learning style.” – Jamie at The Coffee Filled Mom.

Who is the My Senses Summer Day Camp for?
This program is perfect for anyone looking to keep kids busy, engaged, and learning all summer long, while also building important self-regulation and body awareness skills. Whether you’re a parent looking for a fun week of activities at home, a therapist wanting to add a playful sensory focus to your sessions, or a teacher or librarian planning a summer program, this camp is super flexible and easy to adapt. Invite a few friends and make it a group activity or enjoy it one-on-one with your child—it’s totally up to you!
What Ages is This Best For?
The activities in this program are designed with children ages 3 to 9 in mind. When we tested it out last summer, we had kids ranging from 18 months to almost 6 years old—and they loved it! That said, some activities include small parts, so I recommend age 3 and up for safety. If you have younger kiddos, many of the activities can be adapted to meet their developmental level while still having fun!
How Long Does It Last?
The program is designed to run over five days, with two hands-on activities per day, plus your Sensory Word of the Day, snack time, coloring time, and optional video or book suggestions.
Want to stretch it out? No problem! You can spread the activities over two weeks, do one activity a day to make it last even longer, or turn it into a once-a-week summer series. The format is super flexible, so you can make it work for your family, classroom, or therapy setting.
