2020 Theme Descriptions
A Little R & R
Summer = Rest & Relaxation so let’s do it up right at the GRC Retreat!
Mud facials? Check!
Meditation? Yup!
Aromatherapy? Sign me up!
Of course we will still have lots of time for games, fitness, and dance. We will just be doing them with cucumber-infused water in our water bottles! Ommmm...
Art Attack 7.0
To quote happy artist Bob Ross, “We don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents.” So let’s make lots of happy little accidents this week as we explore artistic techniques such as: illusion, tessellation, negative space, and so much more! According to the American Art Therapy Association, the creative process reduces stress, enhances interpersonal skills, and increases self-esteem. Who knew that a box of crayons held that much magic?
Everything Old is New Again!
Inspirational environmentalist Greta Thunberg says, “You’re never too small to make a difference!” And this week we will prove it by upcycling crafts, re-inventing leftovers, trading gently used toys & books, donating clothes to charity, and talking about protests (we might even have one of our own!) Let’s make this week count!
Magical Mystery Tour
Toss your magnifying glass and fingerprint kit into your knapsack because this week is chock full of mysteries and riddles! As junior detectives, we are going to have to decode, collect clues, gather evidence, and maybe even interrogate an Angel or two!
Save the Date!
Festivals and celebrations are the world’s way of making us feel more included, appreciated, and connected to one another. And this week will do just that as we immerse ourselves in a Bastille Day Bash, a global birthday party, a Pride parade, an Irish jig, and a Mardi-Gras carnival.
She Sells Seashells
May you always have a shell in your pocket and sand in your shoes! Grab your swimsuit because it is going to be a full week of fun “on the beach”! We are going to spend this week saving sea turtles, designing mermaid tails, participating in a deep-sea adventure, tossing water balloons, and indulging in ice-cream in the shade.
Every day at Girls Rock! Camp is filled with opportunities to build confidence through learning, exploring, leading, mentoring, laughing, performing, cooking, sharing, reflecting, relaxing and playing. Each and everyday.
Girls Rock! Camp offers weekly themes that include engaging activities: active games, Jr. Chefs program, amazing guest speakers, H.O.P.s (Hugs-on-Paper), relaxation (get your Zen out!), S.L.O.B.
