SUMMER AFFIRMATION CAMP
ABOUT OUR CAMP
A meaningful summer experience can have great benefits to your child’s social skills and general mental and physical health. This six week Summer Affirmation Camp is designed to create a safe and exciting environment that stimulates and empowers young minds. Campers will enjoy activities that stimulate growth and development, and gain the skills and confidence needed to bridge to the next school year. This camp is for youth ages 4 - 12. Here are some of our planned activities.
YOUTH CPR CERTIFICATION
Start With Me has partnered with Ready 2 Transition to get each camper CPR certified. During this training, campers will learn the basic life-saving skills of CPR, First aid, and how to properly use AED.
BAKER MAKERS WORKSHOP
These deliciously fun activities will cover the basics of baking and treat making. This will include learning the art of sculpting, dipping, and decorating these sweet treats.
TUTORING
Our camp will promote the importance of reading through tutoring and literacy kits. Campers will receive "Learning Packs" comprised of literacy and learning tools to be used during camp and at home.
STEAM ACTIVITIES
Youth will spend camp being engaged through hands-on STEAM lessons/curricula. Our "Design Thinking" Process will provide campers with the tools and skills to become experimenters, designers, artists, and engineers.
CAMP SCHEDULE OVERVIEW
Each week is designed to spark creativity and help young minds grow while exploring different parts of a STEAM curriculum. Days will be filled with learning-based activities and exercises that energize and restore young people’s brains and bodies.
