Hello, I am so glad that your child will be attending Moonbeam’s 8th Annual Kids Empowerment Camp.  The following is a detailed account of what you need to know about the camp. I encourage you to keep this handy to ensure that you have all necessary information close by.

 

• Moonbeams Camp will begin on July 10th at 3pm and will end on July 13th at 3pm, with a parent presention which lasts approx. 1 hr.

• Cost is $395 per child with a sibling cost $350

• There will be three healthy/filling meals served each day, as well as snacks/drinks available at all times

• There will be three overnights for children who are comfortable enough, we will be sleeping in cabins (there are two large cabins, which each hold 20  

• We will have a girls cabin and a boys cabin, each with a camp supervisor

• Even kids who are cautious about staying away from home have found it comforting; there is always someone there to help

• It does take courage to camp away from mom and dad, so please prepare your child for the big event ahead of time

• If your child will be camping overnight, please bring a warm blanket, sleeping bag, and pillow.  There will be sleeping cots provided for them.

• The camp will take place at Red Willow River, a beautiful forested 200-acre sight, near Beaverlodge AB.

• There will be trained first aide person/s on site.  

• All children will only be near the river when supervised  

• I am in charge of the majority of operations, however, there will be at least three other adult supervisors at all times.  This is my eighth year running this camp (plus more in Nelson BC) ; the past seven have been a wonderful happy success.

 

The camp begins with a sharing circle, where we will get a chance to explore what our inner gifts are, our passions and what we would like to work on developing throughout the weekend. There will be group activities such as Yoga, hooping, musicians, dance,  intro to meditation, spirit animal journey and painting, guest making dream catchers with children, and wilderness walks.  There will also be areas set up for many arts/craft projects, and regular wilderness activities and walks.  We will have a petting zoo bring farm animals for the children to pet.

 

I will be available for children if any challenges come up.  There will also be two qualified senior camp counsellors (application process in hiring) as well asat all times and a few wonderful junior camp counsellors. There are guest 'teachers' who come in to do the various activities with the kids throughout the camp.

 

Some other examples of activities will be:

• Wilderness Survival Skills  

• Arts (painting, collage, magic wands etc.)

• Crafting with natural materials (magic wands/crowns, dream catchers, memory boxes etc.)

• Music, drum making

• Hula hooping, Yoga

• Campfire songs

• Petting zoo

• organized games and free play

• Self empowerment tools (meditation, visualizations, self love)

• Talks about the Earth and bringing our gifts to the world to be of service.

• Cooling off and chasing frogs in the shallow river

 

I will have a tented area set up comfy with blankets pillows and books for a safe space if the children feel they need some quiet time.
