Curriculum Advisor

Dr. Judy Osterhage

"Movement solves problems that therapy can't reach. When children learn through their bodies, they build neural pathways that last a lifetime."

Dr. Judy Osterhage has spent over three decades studying how children learn—and how movement shapes their development. As SBTC's curriculum advisor, she ensures every camp activity is developmentally appropriate, research-backed, and designed to build the whole child: body, mind, and confidence.

Dr. Judy's Guiding Principles

Free play builds neural pathways that structured learning can't
Children learn best through exploration, not instruction
Safe risk-taking builds lasting confidence
Movement before 6 shapes the brain for life
Getting the wiggles out prepares kids for focus
Joy in movement becomes a lifelong relationship with the body

Every week ends with a celebration. Campers perform what they've learned for family and friends—trapeze, parkour, trampoline, and tiny flyers all take the stage. Then we open the rig for community fly until 3pm.
