5-Day Summer Camp for Younger Kids Ages 3 to 6 in NYC
July 21, 2025 @ 9:00 am – July 25, 2025 @ 2:00 pm EDT
Mighty Mouth Kids (MMK) Camp is the 5-day, group-based intensive therapy program for children with Selective Mutism (SM), originally developed by Dr. Steven Kurtz. The program now continues under the leadership of Dr. Zohra Chahal and her team at Square One Psychology, with Dr. Kurtz remaining closely involved to ensure that the MMK legacy continues seamlessly in its new home.
Each camp session offers structured, immersive treatment that helps children make meaningful progress in a short span of time. The intensive model allows campers to build and sustain brave momentum in a way that’s difficult to achieve through traditional, once-weekly therapy alone. For families seeking expert care, MMK also delivers exceptional value — offering the equivalent of nearly six months of therapy in just one week, at a fraction of the cumulative cost.
Each camp session includes:
27.5 hours of group-based behavioral treatment
Daily Report Cards (DRCs) and brief check-ins at pick-up with Dr. Chahal
A 2-hour virtual parent training following camp
A 30-minute individualized feedback call following camp
To ensure each camper receives truly individualized support, every child is paired 1:1 with a trained counselor, and each camp week is capped at just 8 children. Dr. Chahal works closely with parents in advance to identify each child’s unique “brave talking” goals, then ensures that each camp day includes targeted, meaningful exposure opportunities tailored to their specific needs.
Campers practice speaking across a range of carefully chosen classroom and community settings — from sharing during Show & Tell and playing cooperatively with peers, to answering a teacher’s question or ordering from a server at a local ice cream shop. Over the course of the week, children build confidence speaking to more people, in more places, and across more varied activities.
