Camps are designed to focus on self-esteem and confidence building activities, social skills, friendship skills and practical strategies to deal with unfriendly friends and classmates, typical recess conflict, and to prevent bullying.
We teach the Kids Empowered curriculum through interactive games, role playing, themed crafts, poster activities, team building, physical fitness, yoga and mindfulness.

Check out a few of our camps:
KIDS EMPOWERED SLIME TIME Kids LOVE slime! We use slime in lots of fun ways to teach social skills and emotional management. One way we use slime is that it represents sticky situations kids face on the playground, in the classroom and at home. Kids will learn how to recognize they are in a sticky situation and learn strategies to respond to unfriendly classmates, friend comments and actions, sibling conflict and everyday challenges. We will have some fun empowerment lessons with the Slime Time show. One day, kids will make different colors of slimes that represent their emotions and learn ways to manage them. We will even practice mindfulness with slime. Each day the kids will make slime to represent different lessons. Lots of games, fun and role playing.
