Therapeutic Day Camp for Children (9-12 years) with Anxiety
The aim of this camp is to help children with anxiety feel empowered to manage anxious feelings, thoughts, and behaviors with skill, curiosity, and compassion. This camp is appropriate for children ages 9-12 who are experiencing symptoms under the umbrella of anxiety, including generalized worries, separation anxiety, social anxiety, phobias, panic symptoms, rumination, and obsessive-compulsive behaviors.
The camp will involve: 1) daily lessons of new skills and 2) experiential practice of skills taught, through conversation, writing, arts and crafts, and movement activities. This camp is well-suited for both children who have and have not had treatment for anxiety.
This camp is best suited for children who are thoughtful, reasonably comfortable in social situations, and engaged. Having another mental health condition is acceptable (e.g. ADHD, depression), as long as other conditions are well-managed.
