We have 2 Easter Camps this year, if we are not in a location near you please bear with us as we are about to release approximately 18 Summer Camp locations around Dublin and Ireland very soon.
Children generally love our camps - they're a fun, safe and happy place. We have one golden rule for all children who attend our camps and that is to 'Be Kind'. Children learn best when they're happy and having fun so we ensure to include lots of fun games, arts and crafts and fun activities.
We have been running camps since 2018 and each year we love to help children settle in, make friends and enjoy the camp. We change the programme in some way to ensure returning children continue to learn and do different things. Our life lessons take place sitting in a circle on blankets and cushions. We chat and discuss each topic and then do an activity or game which is related. We know social skills are more important than ever, so we break the ice with fun games and help kids to connect and make friends on the first morning.
Parents regularly ask us - but what exactly do you do? It's a simple formula: Children are divided into groups and get to do the following activities;
1. Arts and Crafts activities; these are generally related to the lessons of the camp
2. Fun games; certain games are played to reiterate our lessons, while others are purely to socialise and have fun together.
3. Life lessons; we chat in a circle and discuss different topics. This is age-appropriate - younger children have a shorter attention span. For the older children, we use examples and some exercises related to moving into Secondary School to help prepare any children for this transition.
4. A guided meditation; to help children relax and learn how to calm their body and mind. This can then help them during more stressful or emotional times to take some deep breaths - their bodies know how to calm down.
Our Best Life Camps have been developed using life coaching, mentoring and positive psychology techniques and philosophies that have been fine-tuned from over 11 years working with children. The underlying principle of our camps is that children learn best when they are happy, relaxed and having fun. The atmostphere, size and people working on our camps are all an important part of the success.
Ability:
If your child seriously struggles going to & taking part in camps, it's essential that you call for a discussion, prior to the registration process. This helps us to understand their requirements and to determine whether or not the camp is a good fit for them. Those who need additional help or attention may not enjoy the group element of the camp. Please email us with your contact details to arrange a call; caoimhe@theconfidenceclinic.ie
If the camp is not suitable for your child, we may recommend one-to-one life coaching with one of our coaches in person or online to help them.
Age:
The camp is for children aged 6-13. Children should be in Junior Infants up to 6th class. We divide children into age-appropriate groups. There is flexibility to remain with friends and siblings. However, we want to assist with the transition to Secondary School for the older children. So it will be discussed during our life lessons with the older group aged 11-13.
We have learned that when children are very young, they are not always capable of sitting down and joining in during our life lessons. In our experience, children who have finished Junior Infants (at a minimum) will have the best camp experience.
