What skills will your children gain from these lessons?

 

Self Awareness

 

Self Awareness lessons help children discover that their bodies are priceless and you only get one body. The activities demonstrate the priceless and irreplaceable nature of the human body, appropriate ways to deal with feelings, specific health care techniques and the ability to set and attain goals in life.

 

Interpersonal Skills

 

Interpersonal skills develop children’s ability to interact with others and to work in groups. By understanding the special qualities in others, these lessons develop empathy, courtesy, friendship, cooperation and teamwork.

 

Decision Making

 

Decision Making is one of the most important skills in life.  These lessons improve responsibility skills and confidence by teaching children to deal with decisions and problems. Finally, a series of activities help children learn how to rely on trusted adults for help with problems.

 

Drug Awareness

 

Drug Awareness addresses alcohol, tobacco and other drugs as visible and highly accessible threats to children. The lessons focus on tobacco and alcohol use, because those drugs are the first children are likely to encounter. Our children will learn why they should avoid using any drug at any time. Social and family

Problems caused by drugs, and how children can deal with them, are also explored.  

 

Refusal Skills

 

Refusal Skills help children avoid drugs, and other risks that already exist in their environment. Children learn and evaluate the reliability of outside information, including advertising, media and individuals trying to influence them.  Self-confidence and self-assertiveness training prepare children to use specific refusal techniques that are effective in any threatening or dangerous situation, not just situations involving drugs.

 

Earth Skills

 

Earth Skills give children a clear perspective of themselves in relation to the planet and the environment around them. By establishing Earth as a priceless, irreplaceable resource that all living beings share, children become active participants in the natural world around them. In addition to impacting intellectual understanding of theses concepts, this section includes pro-active activities that directly involve children in conservation projects and positive environmental behaviors.  

 

Each child and adult interpret life skill concepts at their own level of growth. We choose the discussion points and activities that best fit your children capabilities. Kids Camp USA uses all the different learning styles discussion, investigation, creation, interaction and child-parent worksheets. Life skill courses will positively influence  children for the rest of their lives.
