Open Mind/Growing Mind Kids Camp
Open Mind/Growing Mind Kids Camp will nurture growth mindset ideals in a fun kid kinda way. Sometimes DIRECTLY through short discussion but mostly through the many experiential, fun activities we have developed to give your kids the best experience possible.
We have a unique and fun way of teaching cultural diversity, tolerance, embracing all religions and developing a love for self through our very own songs and stories. We will enjoy yoga and mindfulness practices, dance, theater, games, arts and crafts, cooking and free play throughout the camp program.
This year’s Spring Break Camp theme will be “What Makes You a Superhero?” We will explore the unique gifts and talents that make each one of us an everyday superhero. Each day we will gain a deeper understanding of our talents and gifts through storytelling, discussions, arts and crafts, movement and mindfulness. Your child will exercise and socialize each day. They will create a superhero costume based on their own everyday superhero traits and talents, make Superhero Protein Balls, do a superhero gadget scavenger hunt (this will be sent to you in advance), and write and perform in a Superhero play highlighting the ways they shine in their everyday life.
