Think of a young person you care about.
What qualities will help them grow into their best self and reach their dreams?
Most likely, you’re thinking of skills like managing emotions, staying motivated, communicating effectively, forming strong, healthy relationships and solving problems with others.
These are the heart of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) - the everyday skills that shape how we think, feel, and connect.
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach or a quick fix.
SEL works best when schools, families, and communities work together.
At The Mindful Camp, we don’t just talk about SEL -
we live it. Children explore these skills through play, teamwork, and real-life experiences.
What is The Resilient Child Camp?
The Resilient Child Camp is a camp for kids aged 7–12.
Each season at The Resilient Child Camp, we focus on one core competencies of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL).
​
Mornings are centered around guided group sessions and hands-on SEL activities. Campers will learn about emotions (Self-Awareness), how to manage challenges calmly and confidently (Self-Management), and develop empathy and respect for others (Social Awareness).​​
Key Learning Objectives

Understand emotions and self-awareness
-
Build empathy and social connections

Fun and mindfulness practices
In the afternoons, we bring these SEL lessons to life through outdoor activities and games. Campers will practice the skills they've learned in real-life situations - whether it's teamwork, communication, problem-solving, or responsible decision-making - while helping campers appreciate the importance of an active, healthy lifestyle for both body and mind.
Our signature approach also weaves mindfulness practices, building calm confidence that supports emotional growth and wellbeing long after camp ends.
