Kat's Outdoor Therapeutic Adventures (KOTA) runs an entirely outdoor summer day camp at Growing Minds Educational Farm in Mount Pleasant, designed for children ages 5-10 who are comfortable being independent from caregivers. Founded by a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist, it uses recreation-based therapy and maintains a 1:7 staff-to-child ratio, welcoming a range of needs and abilities.

★★★★★Vanessa VriensKOTA has a very special place in my heart because it is the first place that made Mount Pleasant feel like home since my family moved here from across the country. We attend the adult and me classes where Jackson is able to learn, explore, and grow while immersed in nature with the comfort of having me near by. Each time we’ve come to the farm, he continues to grow, gain confidence, and just be a kid!
★★★★★Niren KapoorKOTA is set on a farm located between 41 and park west. My son attends the weekly after school drop off classes. There he enjoys free play (which has an awesome playground area), then onto an educational activity which each month they have a learning theme. typically they make or create something , other activities include singing songs, planting, nature walks and feeding the farm animals.
★★★★★Lauren MelbergMy 3 year old has been attending KOTA classes and events for over a year and it is his favorite activity! There is a great outdoor space for free play where he can learn and explore using his imagination in nature. During class he enjoys the sensory bins, music time, crafts, and nature hike to see the goats and chickens. It is evident that a lot of thought, time, and effort goes into planning each class and its theme. I highly recommend KOTA for all kids who want to unplug from screens and get outside to play and learn!
