At Restorative Whole Health, we believe every child deserves strong bodies, calm minds, and confident hearts. Families across Okotoks, Calgary, and Foothills Alberta trust our integrative health clinic for more than traditional care—we support the full picture of health through physiotherapy services, pediatric physiotherapy, chiropractic family care, behavioural health care including counselling & psychology, and sports rehabilitation

Our Winter Camp Move Your Mood brings this philosophy to life for kids ages 5–11 in our grass root preventative health program.

The Snow Globe Effect: Helping Kids Understand Their Emotions

This winter’s theme, The Snow Globe Effect — Mind, Body, and Snow, teaches children how emotions swirl inside—just like shaken snow—and how movement, breath, and awareness help everything settle again.

This approach mirrors how we support emotional and physical wellness in our clinic through:

Counselling and psychology for emotional regulation, confidence and coping skills

Pediatric physiotherapy to support movement, balance, and coordination

Chiropractic care for back pain, mobility, and healthy alignment

Kids learn to notice their feelings, move through them safely, and reconnect with calm—skills that matter far beyond winter break.

Why Restorative Whole Health Created This Camp

As a whole health clinic rooted in family health care, we see every day how movement, mindset, and emotional capacity shape long-term health. Whether we’re supporting adults or youth through injury recovery physiotherapy or behavioural counselling, one truth is constant:

Movement changes mood. Awareness changes behaviour. Connection changes confidence.

That’s why our camp is intentionally designed by physiotherapists, teachers, and mental health professionals.

A Camp With Purpose—Not Just Busy Play

Unlike high-ratio winter camps in Alberta, Camp Move Your Mood offers a 5:1 camper-to-counsellor ratio and a researched, sensory-based curriculum.

Why Parents Choose Restorative Whole Health in Okotoks

Families in Okotoks and Calgary choose us because they want support that sees the whole child—not just symptoms. Whether it’s sports physiotherapy, support with behavioural health, or family chiropractic, they trust our team to provide intentional, proactive care.

Camp Move Your Mood extends that same standard of care:

Strong bodies. Calm minds. Confident hearts.

For every child. For every season.
