Fabulous summer camp opportunity!
“If we are to teach real peace in this world… we shall have to begin with the children.” –Mahatma Gandhi
Join us this summer for a week of mindful movement, collaborative creativity and imaginative play at Rise Yoga Gettysburg. No prior experience with yoga or mindfulness necessary. For those who have only experienced yoga for adults, you might be thinking, "Is yoga really for kids? My kids aren't calm. Is that ok?" Children's Yoga looks a lot different than adult yoga, but incorporates the same elements of mindfulness, movement and connection, but in a fun, age-appropriate and accessible way for young people. It is a lively experience including storytelling, creative expression and teamwork, and our instructional team is certified specifically in yoga and mindfulness for kids! However this camp offers way more than yoga poses: loads of nature-inspired artistic expression, strategies to work through big emotions, social-emotional development and team-building and imaginative adventures with daily walking field trips. Send your children exactly as they are, with their big open hearts and creative energy.
We are thrilled to be offering a full-day camp this year with 3 different weeks to choose from!!
