| According to the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning, schools that create socially and emotionally sound learning and working
environments, and that help students and staff develop greater social
and emotional competence, in turn help ensure positive short- and
long-term academic and personal outcomes for students, and higher levels
of teaching and work satisfaction for staff.
- SEL improves students’ positive behavior and reduces negative behavior.
- SEL is also associated with significant improvements in students’ academic performance and attitudes toward school.
- SEL prepares young people for success in adulthood.
Camp MakeBelieve Kids is a social and emotional learning program that works. Our program is a complete package for helping professionals and parents. You can read more about this great program and the importance of SEL here, and you can purchase our program here!

| When your child seems down or overly tired, it may be because they have something on their mind and aren't quite sure how to talk about it. Or perhaps they simply don't want to talk about it. Our program encourages thinking outside the box when it comes to expressing feelings, and and through the program kids find it is easier to share what is on their mind. |

| In the U.S. 20% of children are obese. Billions of dollars have gone
into studying why kids are obese, and, now we, as a nation, have
discovered; food is over-processed, not enough fruits and vegetables,
drinking our calories, poor choices, lack of nutritional education,
physical education removed from schools, school lunch rooms serve
horrible foods, the fat gene, too much television and more.
