BRAVE VOICES CAMP : A CREATIVE CAMP FOR PRETEENS (AGES 10-13)

Brave Voices Camp is a creative and supportive group for preteens to build confidence, connection, and self-expression through theater, movement and voice-based activities.

Through interactive games, improvisation, storytelling, vocal exploration, creative movement, and collaborative exercises, participants will strengthen both social-emotional skills and confidence in ways that feel playful, engaging, and developmentally appropriate.

At a time when friendships, identity, peer dynamics, and increased social pressures are rapidly evolving, theater and expressive arts can provide powerful opportunities to build resilience, confidence, and a stronger sense of self. Group members will be encouraged to take up space, use their voices authentically, and build awareness of their breath, body, emotions, and boundaries while developing self-trust.

Group activities will support:

· Confidence and self-esteem building

· Healthy self-expression and emotional awareness

· Social skills, teamwork, and communication

· Body awareness, grounding, and nervous system regulation

· Creativity, imagination, and problem-solving

· Empathy and connection with others

· Practicing boundaries and understanding personal space

· Public speaking and performance confidence

· Flexibility, spontaneity, and comfort with trying new things

With an emphasis on collaboration over performance, the group will conclude with a sharing experience, inviting participants to celebrate their voices. No theater experience needed—just curiosity and a willingness to participate!
