Beaver is teaming up with Go Baby Go! and Peak Pediatric Physical Therapy to custom modify battery-powered ride-on cars for children with limited mobility. Campers will work together in teams to design, customize, and build each car to meet the specific needs of an individual child.

Program Highlights
Talented instructors, differentiated instruction to engage campers with range of experience, community partnership to engage learning, special events, + so much more!
Early in the week, each team will meet their assigned family and learn about the unique needs of their “little driver” and then be guided by physical therapists from Peak Pediatric Physical Therapy as they develop their specific designs. Then they’ll head into the design studio to rewire the car’s electrical system, develop unique supports and harnesses, and hack the accelerator and ignition. By the end of the week, the little drivers will speed off in their very own car, able to zoom around and play in new ways. Campers will develop teamwork, empathy, and engineering skills as they spend the week building more than just a car.
This is a sample Go Baby Go! schedule.
Campers are dropped off at “The Hill”.
9:00-9:45am
Campers will meet their team for the week and to get the collaboration started, they will participate in a team design challenge.
10:00-11:30am
Campers will have the opportunity to meet their partner client and learn about their mobility needs. Instructors will guide campers through content & material to prepare them to apply what what they have learned as they plan their vehicle designs.
We always take a break for snack during the morning.
Campers enjoy lunch provided by Beaver on our outdoor terrace followed by a transitional time to rest and play outside before resuming activity in the design studio.
12:30-2:50pm
Campers will work on developing their prototype employing the launch, test, and refine mindset. What do we mean by that? Trying stuff, tinkering with it, and trying again is the best way to see if it works.
2:50-3:30pm
Campers have the option to cool off in the pool or play group games outside. We give them choice to maximize their day.
Campers will be picked up at “The Hill”.
3:45-4:00pm
Want more camp? You’ve got it. Our weekly Extended Day programs are available to all campers for an additional fee.
7:30-8:30am – Drop off your camper up to an hour earlier than the regular drop-off at 8:30am.
4:00-6:00pm – Extend your camper’s day as late as possible to give them full access to more activities.
Why not let someone else be the driver? We’ll safely shuttle your camper to and from Beaver by bus.
