Transitions Camp

Transitions Camp is a one-week, half-day camp for girls transitioning from 5th to 6th grade. This camp provides an opportunity for parents to empower their daughters with the emotional and physical tools and behavior models that will help them meet the challenges of middle school and their tween/teen years. Transitions camp provides a safe place for them to discuss & explore the issues on their minds. Plus, they have an opportunity to meet new girls that will be entering 6th grade with them at the middle school.

• Nutritionist to discuss healthy eating habits.
• Small and large group work on a variety of topics including friendship, self-esteem, and coping skills.
• Support designed to provide a soft-transition into 6th grade
• Keys to developing physical, nutritional, and emotional fitness.
• The last day of the camp will provide an opportunity for the mothers to join their daughters for a special activity.
