Summer Should Feel Like a Break.
For Too Many Families, It Doesn't.
If your child struggles with behavior, attention, social skills, or school readiness, summer isn't a vacation. It's ten weeks of lost ground, constant battles, and the quiet dread of what August is going to look like.
We know because we've seen it. Every single year. Kids who were finally making progress in the spring come back in August having lost most of it, and we'd spend the first month just getting back to June.
It doesn't have to go that way.
- Screen time battles start by week two
- No structure means skills quietly disappear
- School starts with catching back up
- Your child needs you for every single thing
- Group settings have always been a struggle
- You've tried programs that didn't deliver
He Got Kicked Out of 4 Preschools.
They Said He Was the Problem.
A mother brought us her 4-year-old son. He had been kicked out of more than four preschools and daycares. Every single one said he couldn't get along with other kids. By the time she found us, she had started to believe them.
He came to us. We set firm expectations. We were clear about the rules. We meant what we said, for rewards and for consequences. We didn't lower the bar.
He thrived.
Most programs are built for the easy cases. They're built for kids who show up regulated, compliant, and ready. When a child needs more, more structure, more expertise, more understanding of how they actually work, those programs send them home.
We don't do that. We built a program that was designed for kids like yours from the very first day.
What Your Child's Day Actually Looks Like
Every day at Teach Me to Learn Summer Academy is structured, purposeful, and genuinely fun. Your child isn't managed, they're developed. Every block of the day has a clinical purpose wrapped in an activity they'll actually want to do.
Each day begins with a focused lesson tied to the week's theme, covering social skills, character, decision-making, and real-world concepts that carry over into daily life at home and school.
Big movement that builds coordination, body awareness, motor planning, and the physical confidence that changes how kids carry themselves everywhere they go.
Writing, crafts, puzzles, and hands-on skill-building activities that develop the fine motor control and seated attention that school demands every single day.
Real water safety, not supervised splashing. Rules of the water, safe entry and exit, emergency response, and age-appropriate swimming skills in our on-site pool.
Structured games that build turn-taking, frustration tolerance, communication, and the social skills that determine whether your child thrives in groups or struggles in them.
Snack time isn't downtime. It's table manners, polite conversation, gardening projects, and real-world independence skills practiced in a setting where they actually stick.
Every Week Has a Theme
Each week of camp is built around a theme that ties together the lesson, activities, games, and crafts into a cohesive experience your child will remember and talk about at dinner.
Here's Everything Your Child Gets
Every week of Teach Me to Learn Summer Academy includes all of the following, delivered by licensed occupational therapists in a group of no more than 15 campers.

Real Results From Last Summer
We don't ask you to take our word for it. Here's what parents told us after their children completed Teach Me to Learn Summer Academy.
It helped my son learn to make better choices. He would learn about making good choices or being a friend in his class, then come home and tell me that he saw his friends making poor choices and he didn't like it, so he was going to make better choices next time. He gets away with not completing activities at school, but in those classes, he learned to reset so he can get back and finish the activity.
I do think the group dynamic was good. Sean did really well when he could watch other kids, so he knew what to do and what was expected. For Liam, I was worried about it being a long day for him, but he loved coming! He talked about it all the time and learned a lot, so it was definitely worth it.
"Last summer's families told us their kids came back more outgoing, more talkative, and more curious about the world. They went back to school in the fall and didn't start the year getting into trouble in class. For some families, that was the first August in years that didn't begin with a phone call from the teacher."

This Camp Is For Some Families.
Not All of Them.
We keep enrollment at 15 campers because we refuse to dilute what we do. That means we're selective, not about diagnoses or abilities, but about fit and commitment.
- Your child is 4 to 12 and struggles in group settings, with behavior, attention, or school readiness
- You've tried other programs and they were too generic, too soft, or simply not equipped
- You want real skills built, not just a fun summer that leaves nothing behind
- You're serious about your child starting school ahead of where they are right now
- You're in or near Bluffdale, Utah and can commit to Mon through Thu mornings
- You're looking for the cheapest option to keep your child occupied this summer
- You want a drop-off babysitting service with no real developmental focus
- You're not willing to reinforce what your child learns at home
- You expect overnight transformation without consistent commitment
- You're outside the Bluffdale, Utah area and unable to attend in person
