We all want our children to be resilient, healthy and empowered, with the skills and confidence to cope with whatever life brings their way. We want to create ease and support for them as they face big transitions. We want them to feel equipped and ready to face challenges believing in themselves and knowing what they’re capable of. 

We created Camp Connect in 2011 to fill a need we were seeing in our clients— for more guidance and support with social skills and emotional regulation, not just in therapy but in their "real lives" too. We knew that at the core of these important skills lies the child’s ability to love, accept and be kind to themselves. 

Here at Camp Connect children, ages 5-8, will spend five fun and active mornings playfully learning about feelings, mindfulness, friendship, self-awareness, self-acceptance, personal space, standing up for themselves, teasing, bullying and more. 

The beauty of this program is we have mastered the art of teaching these critical topics for children’s social development in ways that are engaging, joyful, effective and fun for all.

Here is what you can expect

Children who participate in Camp Connect walk away...

  • With more skills for relating to peers and adults and resolving conflict peacefully

  • More connected to themselves, more regulated and with more self-awareness

  • More able to articulate how they are feeling and why, making it easier to support them and easier for them to advocate for their needs

  • Better able to stand up for themselves

  • Better able to ask for attention in safe, healthy ways

  • Feeling more confident, courageous and able to trust in themselves

Research demonstrates that children with the capacity for emotional regulation do better socially, academically, are more resilient, have fewer behavioral challenges, are more able to focus, are more cooperative and collaborative than their peers.

Testimonials

Here's what people have to say about Camp Connect

She continues to use the skills she learned

by K

“I cannot say enough good things about Camp Connect.  My daughter went the summer before starting Kindergarten and continues to use the skills she learned there on a daily basis.  A few examples of the messages that stuck for her are how to say what she feels, how to take space when she needs it and how to empathize with others.  These skills will serve her for her entire life. "

Camp Connect utterly captivated him

by R

“My then six year old attended Camp Connect last summer, and it was hands-down his favorite camp of the season; in fact, it is the only one he has asked to return to this summer. We expected that he’d feel mildly unenthused (feelings camp??), but slog through. To our surprise and delight, Camp Connect utterly captivated him. He loved the daily feelings check-in, knowing that Sanam and Mia were really paying attention to how he felt and wanting to explore those feelings further in a way that felt safe and fun. He also loved the art and yoga, as well as the opportunity to meet other kids his age who were on the same journey of exploring who they are. He is a kid who recognizes that he sometimes has big feelings, and Camp Connect helped give him skills to express those feelings in a safe, productive way. He’s carried forward so many of the skills he learned, proudly reminding us in tricky moments of what he learned from Sanam and Mia.”

They truly paid attention

by M

"...The care, knowledge and communication of the instructors well exceeded my expectations.  I felt as though they truly paid attention and gave me incredible feedback of how to support and encourage my daughter to be a socialized and emotionally intelligent human being.  I recommend this camp to any and all parents.”
