Join us for a chill, cozy day at camp talking about mental wellness and self-care. We'll go totally screen free for the day, cozying up with hot cocoa and blankets, chilling out with crafts like journaling and scrapbooking. Cadettes will earn the Finding My Voice patch, and Seniors and Ambassadors will earn the Showing up for Me and You Badge. This special event is held in partnership with HCA Healthcare, and will be facilitated by professional social workers and mental health workers.
Teens will spend the day in a group of peers in the same grade level, paired with a mental health professional. The group will complete all steps of the mental wellness badge, taking breaks for relaxing activities including crafting and yoga. Lunch will be catered, and all participants will leave with a goody bag of supplies for maintaining self-care at home.
Adults who volunteer for this event will not be placed in the same group as the youth member they are attending with. Adult volunteers may be assisting with check-in, meal cleanup, or other tasks.
There will be an online meeting for parents and caregivers prior to this event, where we will cover in detail the content of the badges being earned, and answer any questions. Parents and guardians should understand that in discussions of mental health and wellness, serious themes may emerge, and these discussions will be facilitated in an age-appropriate way by mental health professionals during the session.
Optional bus transportation will be provided from Paint Branch ES (College Park, MD), and the GSCNC Germantown Office. Once registered, you will receive a link to sign up for the bus.
