Camp Details

I have had inquiries about what kinds of things we will do at Camp Seahorse.  We will have fun activities, games, and discussions.  We will view various forms of media to help participants understand that girls as they are portrayed on TV, in magazines and in movies are not always realistic.  They will develop personal affirmations and bracelets will be made as reminders of these.  Each girl will be given a journal in which they can write, draw, etc. each night.  These can be, do not have to be, shared during the morning Seahorse Huddle. 

My plan is to make the time at Camp Seahorse comfortable for the girls.  There will be opportunities to share experiences and ideas and to brainstorm with each other.  The girls will not be forced to share if they are uncomfortable with an issue being discussed.  They will learn that they are not alone in their feelings and concerns.   

Having worked in middle school and elementary school, I have seen how hard it is for some girls to deal with some of the things that other girls do and say.  My hope for this camp experience is that the girls can enter school next fall with confidence that they have:

•   learned and practiced a set of skills that will help them deal with "Mean Girls", and even with "friends".  
•   developed a network of girls that they can reach out to in times of need.
•   strength and the know-how to handle themselves under pressure from others.
