Young Ravens Summer Camp 2021

 RVN Wellness and the Young Ravens yoga program for kids was founded by Dawn Slykhuis. Dawn is a Registered Social Worker with 17+ years experience working in mental health, specializing in child and youth mental health, as well as a certified yoga instructor. 

Approach: Underlying principles of all programs cover body autonomy (no child is forced to participate in any activity that doesn't feel good in their body as we teach children to safety say "no",) body awareness, social/emotional learning, inclusivity, accessibility, and lila (divine play) as these important tools are proven to build resilience in children. No prior experience is required for any of our camps and children are invited to come as they are. 

Our Port Moody based summer day camps offer three options:

1. Our Resilient Kids Program is a play based group therapy program utilizing movement, games, art, and music to assist children in developing resilience, self reliance, and coping strategies for managing big feelings.
*Registration for the Resilient Kids Camp may be covered by extended health benefits where counselling by a Registered Social Worker is a benefit*

2. Our Movement and Mindfulness Camp is focused around the idea that "play is the work of children" ( Fred Rogers) as we engage children in movement and mindfulness activities through play. The curriculum is focused on intentional activities including yoga, meditation, journaling, art, nature and social connection.

3. We have teamed up with Eco Play to offer outdoor Nature and Mindfulness Daycamps. These camps will be fully outdoors and co-led by the founder of Eco-Play, and the owner of RVN Wellness.
