amazing lecture about circadian rhythms! let me quote a little:

“And what is interesting is, this is particularly important for children because their brain is still developing. And when children go through early childhood circadian disruption, they are more prone to diseases like ADHD and autism. So this new simple idea, that we need more bright blue light during the daytime and less light, or darkness, at nighttime, is starting a new lighting revolution”.

Every organ and even every cell in our body has a circadian or 24-hour clock. Circadian clocks turn on and off thousands of genes at the right time of the day or night. These rhythms work together to maintain a healthy balance of brain chemicals, hormones and nutrients. When our rhythms break down w...

Don’t throw pineapple leftovers: try this instead!

If you are lucky enough to find Gold Pineapples, know this, they are the best to be regrown. Take fruit’s crown and pull a few leaves to expose the core a little bit. Place your “pine” to a jar, fill with water and wait for 2-14 days. Don’t forget to provide your baby pineapple with enough direct sunlight and proper water change👌🏻 after you see nice and strong roots, prepare the soil and enjoy the growing process.

Peels are also amazing!
Try to make tea with 2 handfuls of pineapple peels, 2-3 stems of rosemary and cinnamon. Simmer for 15 min, turn off the heat and let it cool. By adding ice you’ll get an anti inflammatory lemonade, keeping hot - swelling reduce brew👌🏻

Enjoy!

Water therapy: benefits

There are many different environments your child experiences throughout their life that can be hugely beneficial to their development. One of these unique environments we can use during the Camp is the pool, this unique environment provides many therapeutic opportunities and allows children to work towards their goals in a very playful environment.

Gross Motor Skills
Kicking, and splashing, games on pool noodles or pool toys (climbing on and off pool toys can be a huge gross motor challenge!) are great ways to encourage and support child’s gross motor development.

Developing body awareness and coordination
Directional awareness and coordination of both sides of our body is essential as your child begins to learn to swim. These skills are also essential in dressing, playing on the playground, climbing, and many more. In the pool, we practice this awareness by playing Simon says games, scissor jumps and star jumps in the water, and even mirror my action games.

Muscle-strengthening
Games using pool noodles to encourage core strength, and balance are great ways to strengthen muscles whilst hiding the activity in a fun game!

Hidden Benefits of Scavenger Hunts:
Social Skills

Making a scavenger hunt a group activity in Camp is a great way to help children play together, to become more communicative with each other and practice using concepts such as keeping their body in the group, following the group plan, and using their thinking eyes.

Sensory Regulation
Scavenger hunts can provide the perfect play activity for sensory development – whether it be simply exploring and becoming aware of their different senses. For example, finding something green and soft, something wet and cold, or something fast and noisy. Using sight, smell, sound, and touch make for an awesome Sensory treasure hunt!

Mind and Body Exercise
Scavenger Hunt checklist s an enjoyable way of working on executive functioning such as sequencing, organising and reinforcing problem-solving skills. This activity can also be a good exercise for the body! During the Camp we incorporate clues that get kids moving in different ways, e.g. skipping, jumping, hopping from one point to another.

Connecting With Nature
The fresh air, vitamin D and green space are known to reduce stress and improve mood in adults and kids, so it’s a win all round.

We’d love your kids to join us on a fun adventure!
