 Learn About the Camp MakeBelieve Kids
Award Winning Program
The Camp MakeBelieve Kids 8-Step Program addresses all aspects of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), focusing on key social and emotional competencies--emotion identification and management, motivation, empathy, and peer relationships.
Thirty-two separate lessons plans, filled with activities and instructions for teaching individual child or group of children, are accompanied by the Camp MakeBelieve Kids Teaching Tools; 8 Workbooks, 10 CDs, Trashy Tricks and Smile posters. These materials will equip your child with strategies, and tools to:
- identify and appropriately express feelings
- form and maintain peer connections
- understand physical, emotional, and physical boundaries
- empathize with others
- manage their own intense feelings and moods
- recognize and defend against manipulative behaviors such as bullying
- recognize and modify their own thoughts, feelings and behavior according to a given situation,
- and ultimately become aware of their positive qualities and become comfortable asserting themselves appropriately in new, frustrating or challenging situations.
The eight workbooks contain stories and drawings that correlate to each step making the issues come alive in an engaging way. As children read and discuss the stories, they relate to the situation and protagonists, often asking “Is this about me?” Read-along CDs of each story provide a wonderful alternative for those children whose learning style is more auditory than visual. Exercises, songs, and guided imagery help kids practice what they have learned, while memoranda to parents help to keep the momentum going at home.
