Each six hour day is packed with fun activities like

Sign Language and Baking Camp!

March 22, 2010

Grandma Leeth's, the award winning, child and family-friendly restaurant, has a reputation for the great care and attention it gives to children while parents and caregivers eat their meals in peace. Now, for the first time ever, they are hosting an interactive and educational summer-camp!  Sign your school-aged Camper up for an unforgettable summer camp this year, brought to you by 3 fantastic women-owned businesses: Portland Loves Signing, Kids Central Kitchen and Grandma Leeth's.

We’ll have 2 tracks to choose from weekly, each for half the day:

Kids Central Kitchen will offer a children’s morning Baking class. ($150 per week)

    Kitchen Camps are run in part by Grandma Leeth's Restaurant and in part by Maureen Hotchkiss of Kids Central Kitchen. Camp is one week long and lunch is included. Please inquire about discounts for siblings and for Campers who also plan on registering for the ASL afternoon camp that extends the day to 4:00pm.
    Maureen Hotchkiss, is the mother of three children and owner of Kids Central Kitchen, which offers natural, wholegrain baking mixes for active kids and their families. Through their business, she and her husband Mark, provide healthier snack options for kids and encourage parents to get their kids involved in food preparation. They view the kitchen as the perfect learning center for kids of all ages.
    Maureen already hosts special, one-of-a-kind parties at Grandma Leeth’s® Restaurant. Whether it’s a Girl Scouts badge to be earned, a birthday to be celebrated, or a Summer Camp to be experienced, Maureen seems to have a way of sending all her young guests home happy, and with a sense of accomplishment after every session.


PDX Loves Signing will offer American Sign Language (ASL) afternoon class for children. ($140 per week)

    Signing Camps are run in part by Grandma Leeth's® Restaurant and in part by Carissa Martos of PDX Loves Signing. Camp is one week long and lunch is included.

    Carissa Martos, is the founder of PDX Loves Signing. She is a Master Sign Instructor, who also earned her Advanced and Baby Signing certifications. She excels at teaching American Sign Language (ASL) vocabulary to families. Signing aside, Carissa has been an instructor of one sort or another since 2005 - delivering new and expecting parent education – on topics from cloth diapers, to breastfeeding, habit formation and the proper use and information on a variety of pre-natal, infant and toddler products.
    Using music, pictures, and silly songs as a basis for learning, Carissa leads participants through her classes, building important language skills gradually over each 2-week period. Carissa is a mother of two amazing children with special needs, so you can rest assured that speech delays are welcomed and families with diversity of all kinds are encouraged to attend.

Seeking Summer Special Needs Day Camp

April 28, 2009

I'm looking for a summer DAY camp for our 6 year old. He's got mild autism-issues, so we don't want to throw him into a typical daycamp program - but he also doesn't need to be in a place for kids with severe needs. However, he REALLY needs to be socializing with other kids before mainstream Kindergarten this fall. Help! I can't find anything out there that seems appropriate. Before you ask, yes, I've looked at camp guides and googled it! Does anyone have any suggestions/resources? Thanks Mamas (and Daddys)!
