A Structured Summer Program That Supports Real Growth

Summer can be a time when routines change. For many children, maintaining structure while still allowing flexibility is key.

Our Ottawa-based program is ideal for children who benefit from:

  • Consistent daily routines
  • Small group environments
  • Guided social learning opportunities
  • Ongoing skill practice in a supportive setting

Rather than a traditional camp model, HolistiCare provides a structured summer program with individualized support built into every part of the day.

Children are encouraged to participate at their own pace, with support tailored to their comfort level and needs.

Family Collaboration & Ongoing Communication

We understand that families are an essential part of each child’s progress.
At HolistiCare:

  • We begin with an intake process to understand your child’s needs and goals
  • We maintain ongoing communication throughout the program
  • We provide a summary of observed strengths and development at the end of the summer


All communication is handled in accordance with privacy, confidentiality, and consent standards.

Individualized Support in a Small Group Setting

At HolistiCare, we recognize that each child benefits from a different level of support.
Children are placed into small groups based on:

  • Age and developmental stage
  • Communication style and strengths
  • Support needs and comfort level

Support ratios may include 3:1, 2:1, or individualized (1:1) depending on what best supports your child’s success.

Why Choose HolistiCare’s Summer Program

Families across Ottawa choose HolistiCare because of our balanced, child-centered approach.

We focus on the whole child—not just skills—by creating opportunities for:

  • Social connection and peer interaction
  • Communication development in real-life situations
  • Confidence-building through guided experiences
  • Emotional awareness and self-regulation
  • Independent thinking and problem-solving

Our team creates a space where children feel safe, supported, and motivated to participate, while learning in ways that feel natural and enjoyable.
