The Organized Mind Soft Skills Track Out Camps

Safety

TOM Track Out emphasizes safety and supervision. Staff-to-camper ratio is kept modest (approximately one counselor for every seven campers), which helps ensure each child receives individual attention and support. All staff members are certified in CPR and First Aid.

Outdoor excursions and field trips are planned with care — and for rainy or extreme-weather days, the camp provides alternate indoor activities. Children are continuously supervised during outdoor activities, and the camp has a clear illness policy: if a child shows signs of illness before or during camp, parents are notified and asked to pick up the child, ensuring a healthy environment for all campers.

Health & Medicine

TOM Track Out staff are trained in CPR and First Aid, which provides basic medical safety during the camp day. If a child becomes ill or injured, the camp will contact parents and follow a protocol for isolation and pickup if needed. There is no indication that the camp provides full-time medical staff or advanced medical facilities — it is designed for generally healthy children with no significant medical needs.

Camp traditions

While TOM Track Out does not highlight longtime “camp-legacy” traditions like overnight camps might, it fosters a culture of growth, support, and community. Weekly field trips, group games, and collaborative activities help build bonding, friendships, and social skills among campers. Many returners report growing in confidence and independence over time, thanks to the camp’s focus on executive functioning and life skills — making personal growth itself a kind of tradition.

TOM Track Out’s day is carefully structured to combine skill-building, learning, exploration, and fun. Mornings begin with a “TOM Time” session — a small-group lesson focused on study skills, executive functioning, and soft skills (such as organization, note-taking, and time management). After snack break, campers head out for field trips to nearby parks, lakes, museums, or community sites. The afternoon includes outdoor games or recreational activities, group games, crafts or reflective sessions, and finally dismissal (or optional extended care).

Over the course of a week, campers engage in a variety of experiences that encourage growth, social interaction, and fun outside of a traditional classroom.
