Tiny Talkers - Speech & Language Camp

WHAT IS Tiny Talkers?

Tiny Talkers is a fun, interactive program for children aged 3-6 years old designed to strengthen communication skills while keeping kids engaged and motivated. Led by licensed speech-language pathologists, campers participate in games, group challenges, creative projects, and themed activities that target articulation, language development, social communication, and confidence. Each week encompasses a new theme and will focus on skills such as clear speech, vocabulary growth, sentence structure, listening, and conversational turn-taking. Small group sessions allow for individualized support while encouraging teamwork and peer interaction, helping children build stronger communication skills, boost self-confidence, and enjoy a positive, supportive summer experience.
