Over the course of 3 days, your child or teen will receive 9 hours of therapeutic support from our dedicated clinicians, blending expressive arts, mindfulness, and social-emotional skill building in a nurturing and fun environment. Our program uses a specialized therapeutic and expressive arts approach, ensuring every activity supports emotional growth and resilience.

We know that traditional camps can feel overwhelming for kids who thrive with more individualized structure and support. That’s why our mini-camp provides personalized 1:1 attention in addition to group activities, with a maximum of 6 campers to ensure a safe, supportive, and empowering experience.

No. Though we specialize in providing services for those with anxiety, ADHD, trichotillomania, OCD, autism, and depression, any child/teen is welcome to come to camp that could benefit from a more therapeutic approach.

If your child has any specific sensory, emotional, or behavioral needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out before camp begins. Our team is here to help them feel safe, understood, and supported.

No! Any child ages 6-16 is welcome. They will be separated into the two camps based on their age and/or developmental age.

Our camp adopts an expressive arts based curriculum. Operated by a licensed mental health counselor and dance movement therapist, activities will include self-esteem building, mindfulness, social skills, expressive arts therapy, nervous system regulation and nature-based therapy.

Our Spring Break Therapeutic Mini-Camp is a shorter, 3-day program (9 hours total) designed as a focused “booster” experience during the school year. While the summer camp runs for 4 days (12 hours) and offers more time for in-depth exploration, the spring mini-camp provides a condensed, intensive opportunity for children to refresh coping strategies, practice social-emotional skills, and receive individualized support in a small group.

Both programs share the same therapeutic foundation—expressive arts, mindfulness, and personalized attention with a 6-child maximum—but the spring camp is tailored to fit into a school vacation week while still delivering meaningful growth and connection.
