Description of the Course
Our Culinary Camp is an innovative therapeutic program that combines hand therapy with practical culinary activities. The goal of the camp is not only to improve children's manual dexterity but also to teach them how to perform daily activities independently, which increases their independence and self-confidence. During the camp, children will participate in various culinary workshops designed to support the development of fine motor skills, visual-motor coordination, and sensory integration. These activities not only provide practical skills but also offer an excellent opportunity to develop social and communication skills.
