Lipa Green Centre, Tamari Hall

Register your staff for Calm, Confident, & Ready: Supporting Campers through Challenging Moments, taking place on Sunday, June 14. 

 

This workshop is designed to help camp staff feel more confident supporting campers through challenging moments. Together, they will explore how to understand behaviour through a compassionate, skill-based lens, strengthen their own self-awareness and regulation, and build concrete strategies for connection, validation, and de-escalation at camp.  

 

The session will include reflection, table discussion, practical takeaways, and opportunities to apply strategies to real camp situations, helping staff to feel more grounded, prepared, and confident responding to campers with warmth, clarity, and compassion. 

 

When registering, please submit an Excel spreadsheet listing all the first and last name of the staff members from your camp who will be attending.
