Yoga Warriors Camp

Picture
At Yoga Warriors Camp, kids will experience a daily yoga class inspiring strength, confidence and bravery to tackle any challenge that comes their way. Activities will focus on developing self confidence, social skills, self-regulation skills, and self expression. Kids will perform role plays/dramatic enactments, create a warrior/superhero project, and practice ways to harness their energy and power in the natural world.  Kids will experience "old fashioned" games that develop patience, self control and delayed gratification. Along the way, kids will not miss their video games and time will fly while they are having fun!  The little ones with shorter attention spans can experience a condensed version of this camp in Yoga Ninjas, a one hour class offered for 4-7 year olds, 4 days in a row (camp style!).  The Yoga Warriors, ages 6-12, can extend their day by adding lunch bunch and a special 1.5 hour Basketball Camp offered in conjunction with Explosive Strength and Speed onsite!

What to expect in Katiedyd Summer Camps

I should actually say what "not" to expect first! You should not expect to have your child be lost in the crowd, not know what your child is doing all day, or have your child dread going to camp each day!  You SHOULD expect your child to:
  • ​Be treated as an individual with his/her interests and needs taken into account
  • Feel comfortable with the small group of children and camp activity leader/s
  • Bring home a certificate each day of what he/she has done at camp
  • Get messy (if he/she wants to!)
  • Be outside (Put sunscreen and bug spray on your child!)
  • Be active (Wear comfortable clothes and sneakers!)
  • Be creative (Warning: Your child may bring home some projects.)
  • Use all of his/her senses (See upcoming blog posts to learn that there are more than 5!) 
  • Experience hands-on learning (Think "outdoor school") 
  • Have fun!

    I have my Masters of Occupational Therapy degree and work as a school-based occupational therapist during the school year. I have been an OT for 18 years and have experience in diverse settings including schools, early intervention in the home, outpatient pediatrics, home health, hospitals, and nursing homes. I have worked in several pediatric OT summer camps over the years and have enjoyed using my skills to have fun with kids in more informal ways.  I am certified in Sensory Integration through USC/WPS and kids yoga through YogaFit and Childlight Yoga, and have taken additional yoga courses related to OT.  I have 3 children of my own and look forward to including them in my summer camp program!
