Magical Children’s Summer Camp July 8-August 8
What is the Hero’s Journey?
Following the template of Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey, participants will embark on an adventure, discover some allies, face obstacles, achieve new skills, and return transformed. Our camp is uniquely designed to take children on a voyage into an imaginative world inspired by our natural surroundings. We will work towards common goals and learn something new about ourselves along the way.
How do you play the game?
Every child is a player in our real-life adventure game. We will complete one round of the game in a two week session through our daily quests, fun activities, obstacle courses and social-emotional exercises. We will learn new tools for self-regulation, teamwork and emotional awareness while deepening our connection to nature, intuition and imagination. Join us for a fun-filled summer and see what surprises are in store for you!
