Three-Day Kindergarten Camp: Exploring Feelings with A Little Spot of Emotion

Our engaging three-day camp is specially designed for kindergarten students and is inspired by the Little Spot Of Feelings program. This interactive camp introduces young learners to the important skills of recognizing, understanding, and managing their emotions in a fun and supportive environment.

Throughout the camp, children will explore a variety of feelings such as happiness, sadness, anger, and calmness. Using storytelling, guided discussions, and playful activities, campers will learn how to identify emotions in themselves and others while developing healthy ways to express and regulate their feelings.

Each day is filled with hands-on experiences, including:

  • Creative Art Activities: Children will create colorful crafts and emotion-themed projects that help them visually express their feelings.
  • Movement and Play: Games and interactive exercises will reinforce emotional concepts in a fun, active way.

This nurturing and playful environment ensures that every child feels safe, supported, and ready to grow!

Campers will also engage in specialized STEM programs run by Science North and Art Programs run by Canvas & Clay.
