Day 5, the final day of our camps, was an absolute blast! 🎉

In MMK-SRQ, we celebrated Celebration Day 🎈, and campers once again stretched their brave talking muscles in new ways. Campers made cards for one another 💌, gave picture presentations 🖼️, and took a field trip to the Ringling Circus Museum 🤡 (The Ringling). We wrapped up the week with a graduation ceremony 🎓 to celebrate all of their hard work and bravery. We are SO proud of our MMK-SRQ campers! 💛

Over in Team Brave Talker, campers crafted friendship bracelets and keychains, gave presentations on the animals they learned about during yesterday’s visit to the pet store 🐾, enjoyed lunch and some time on the jungle gym, and participated in a friendly debate 🗣️. In the afternoon, campers rehearsed for their Talent Show before performing for their families, a wonderful way to celebrate an incredible week! 🌟 Our Team Brave Talker campers truly knocked it out of the park, and we are so proud of everything they accomplished!

Thank you to all of our volunteers, campers and families for making this such an incredible week. We loved watching each camper grow in confidence, bravery, and connection, and we can’t wait to do it all again at camp next year! ☀️

🎉We had a fantastic start to camp today!🎉

MMK-SRQ kicked off with 🌈Rainbow Day!  Parents joined in the fun as their child’s counselor for the first half of the day while being coached in PCIT-SM skills. Campers then teamed up with their regular camp counselors and enjoyed rainbow-themed activities while practicing brave talking with parents, counselors and other campers! 🗣️💚

Meanwhile, over in 💪 Team Brave Talker, campers worked on asking and answering questions with peers and counselors. They practiced using manners, sharing facts and opinions about themselves, and even gave fun introductions to the group about their new friends! 🎤😊 Campers also learned 📦 box breathing to help with relaxation and played lots of interactive games and engaged in activities that encouraged conversation, teamwork, confidence, and plenty of laughs! 🎲🤝😄

We are so proud of all of our campers for being brave, trying new things, and supporting one another on Day 1! 💚✨

Stay tuned for more camp adventures throughout the week! ☀️🍦
