Marking off
another age group on their checklist, the Center for Mindful Living is now
offering a camp for kids. Along with the camp are courses made for the little bunch
ranging from ages 8 to 12.
Opening the
website, they give parents a brief description about the camp.
“The
Mindfulness Camp is designed to foster creativity and present moment awareness,
as well as develop healthy ways to cope with the stress and changes of a
growing body and mind.”
Activities
at the weeklong camp will include mindful movement, meditation, journal
writing, and so much more.
Divided into
two sessions, pricing at $145 a week, the first batch will on June 15-19, while
the second on July 20-24.
The camp’s
instructor, 20 year old Beth Vandergraph, says that the camp will be “quiet”
and goes on saying that mindfulness is good for the humans on the planet, and
that it works likewise with kids.
"The
more awareness we raise about what mindfulness is, the less stigma we'll have
around it," Vandergraph said. "It's really just the practice of
becoming more self-aware. People approach it from their own background, and you
get what you want and need out of it."
At the camp
children will learn how to connect with their thoughts, focus and attention. The
activities will be lined up with these factors, either in groups or
individually.
Vandergraph
says that the camp will benefit children with active brains or those who are
experiencing some problems in their lives.
