All Boys - Survive & Thrive Camp
All Boys - Survive & Thrive Camp
- Your child would be a good fit if they are working on supportive ways to manage emotion, enjoy the outdoors and love adventure.
- Your child may not be a good fit if they are not yet able to manage a group setting, at risk for self harm or harm of others or are struggling with explosive and unsafe behavior.
Earth: How do we ground ourselves, find stillness in our body. feel strong in our bodies and connect to the Earth. How do we use a map to navigate a scavenger hunt?
Fire: What do we notice when we move our bodies in intense ways? Does our heart rate go up? Does your breathing quicken? How do we build a fire?
Water: How do we let go of negative thoughts or big emotions? How am I feeling? Why do we need to drink water?
Air: How do I breathe in an expansive breath? How do I build confidence? How do I feel free to be myself?
Examples of things we may do during this camp (final decision of activities are based upon who is coming and the overall needs of the group).
Social Skills through cooperative activities/games such as Camouflage Hide and Seek and Walkie/Talkie Search and Rescue.
Emotional Skills we will introduce concepts like how do we take care of our heart and our emotions. What are the survival skills needed for this? We will talk about deep breathing, talk about big emotions and learning about where we might feel big feelings in our bodies.
Survival Skills such as Fire Building Skills - We will also learn to safely build a fire.
Physical Activity - We will do a boot camp type obstacle course to move our bodies. It will be minimally to moderately strenuous.
No child is required to engage in any parts that do not feel comfortable.
