Creative Play Age 8-12
July 15-18, 2023 9:00am-12:00pm ($175/person), Location TBD, Age 9-12 Creative play builds confidence and community. Get inspired as we settle into creative activities that will have us learning about ourselves, connecting with others, engage in self expression, and highlighting what makes us awesome. During the week, we will express our amazing creative selves, explore a variety of art materials, play games, and more. The experience is about having fun with art in a way that can support our emotional wellness rather than developing art techniques to make something beautiful. On the last day (Thursday July 18th, 12:00-12:30pm) families are invited to come and see our art display of the work the youth completed throughout the four days. Participants will build self confidence, independence, and creative problem-solving skills. Spaces will be held for one week after registration and will be confirmed after payment. |
About Me: Engaging in creative play gets me excited about showing up as my best self, and helps me navigate difficult moments in life. I feel very connected to nature, this is what helps me stay grounded and connected to what is important to me. With over 15 years experience working with youth, I am passionate about creating opportunities where they feel validated and supported while overcoming challenges in life and in becoming the person they want to be.
I completed my training to became a Therapeutic Arts Masters Practitioner with training in Nature Based work through the Canadian International Institute of Art Therapy and completed a degree in Child and Youth Care through the University of Victoria.
