Skills For Success: High School Prep

Welcome to our empowering High School Prep Camp, specifically designed for grade 8 students navigating the pivotal transition to high school! Our program stands out due to its holistic approach that combines essential academic skills with personal development, ensuring that campers are not only prepared for high school academically but also equipped emotionally and socially.

Our camp is unique because it fosters a supportive and collaborative environment where students can explore their individual strengths and areas for growth. We pride ourselves on our experienced facilitators who use engaging, hands-on methodologies that resonate with young adolescents. By emphasizing peer interaction and team-based activities, we help students build meaningful connections that extend beyond the camp.

Campers can expect a variety of interactive workshops that cover critical topics such as:

• Study Habits: Students will learn and practice effective note-taking strategies, test preparation techniques, and personalized study plans that cater to their learning styles.
• Time Management: Through practical exercises, they will develop skills to balance academics, extracurricular activities, and personal time, ensuring they can meet deadlines and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
• Effective Communication: Engaging in role-playing scenarios and group discussions, students will enhance their verbal and written communication skills, vital for fostering friendships and navigating classrooms.

In addition to workshops, our camp features team-building exercises, creative projects, and leadership activities that encourage collaboration and peer support.

A typical day at our High School Prep Camp kicks off with an energizing morning circle, where campers share goals for the day. The schedule includes a mix of workshops, breakout sessions, and hands-on activities designed to keep students engaged.

By the end of our program, campers will leave with:

• Enhanced study and time management techniques that they can apply immediately in their schoolwork.
• Improved communication skills, allowing them to express their thoughts and ideas confidently.
• Greater self-awareness and resilience, fostering a positive mindset towards the high school experience.
• A newfound sense of belonging as they connect with peers facing similar challenges.

Join us at the High School Prep Camp, where we prepare not just for transit but for thriving in the exciting journey that lies ahead! Your child will emerge confident and ready to embrace the opportunities that high school has to offer.
