Yoga Camp for Kids 2010!
This summer at the Healing Tree, Checka will be offering a one-week afternoon yoga camp for ages 4-9 from July 26-30. Yogi campers will learn yoga and breathing exercises to keep their bodies strong and flexible, along with relaxation exercises to help them feel calm, confident and secure - all while having lots of fun!
Campers will also explore their creativity through yoga crafts such as making original mandalas (personal yoga "shields"), creating yoga pose models, and drawing with intuition! Partner and group yoga will add another wonderful element to our camp, and help to teach important skills of connection and cooperation.
Yoga games galore such as Musical Mats, Alphabet Yoga, and Memory Yoga will keep children moving and laughing! We will have snack time each day around 3:00, so please pack a nut-free snack for your child to bring to camp. Camp hours will be 1:15 - 4:15 pm each day.
Tuition will be $150 for the week. There will be a limit of 16 yogi campers for the session - register now to reserve your spot! Please call the Healing Tree to register via credit card; personal checks are also accepted and can be mailed to the Healing Tree or dropped off at the front desk.
