Courage Camp
June 12 - 16 // half-day (12:30 - 3:30 PM)
Entering Grades: 8+ (must be 13 or older)
Courage Camp is dedicated to learning how to face our fears and conquer them! At Courage Camp, we believe that courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the willingness to take action in spite of them. We understand that fear can be a powerful force that holds us back from reaching our full potential, and we're committed to helping campers develop the tools and strategies needed to overcome their fears and become more resilient, confident individuals. Throughout the week, campers will participate in a range of activities designed to challenge them and push them outside of their comfort zones. From ropes courses and rock climbing to public speaking and team-building exercises, we'll work together to help campers build their courage muscles and develop a growth mindset that embraces challenges and failure, as a necessary part of the learning process. By the end of the week, campers will have a newfound sense of confidence, resilience, and self-awareness that will serve them well in all aspects of their lives.
