Train Your Brain Camp at Wash U

Train Your Brain is a summer camp unlike any other. Using engaging S.T.E.M. (science, technology, engineering, and math) activities, Train Your Brain teaches concrete strategies to help with goal setting, planning, organization, and time management in a fun atmosphere. This set of skills, called executive functioning, is vital for our children to learn and practice when they are young in order to manage increasing demands as they get older. Trouble with executive functioning skills can often be related to a diagnosis, such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, or learning disabilities. Other times, our children may experience difficulty with executive functioning skills because they’re just kids who are developing and learning to balance their responsibilities.

This camp is for children ages 9 – 12 and for the first time older kids, ages 13-16 with executive function difficulties (poor time management, unable to plan their day, and problems paying attention).
