What is included? With this digital ticket presented on June 15 at the CERC, you receive a detailed carwash by our kids, volunteers and staff as a part of their summer learning series: Dreamcatchers Life skills Camp. What it benefits? Adventures, in their many forms, can serve as a powerful tool for children who have experienced trauma, offering a unique blend of therapy, education, and personal growth. These experiences, whether outdoor activities, creative endeavors, or exploratory trips, can significantly aid in their healing process. Moreover, adventures often require teamwork and communication, offering children a chance to connect with others who may share similar experiences or understandings. These social interactions can alleviate feelings of isolation and foster a sense of belonging. Additionally, the physical aspects of many adventurous activities help in releasing pent-up energy or tension, promoting a healthier state of mind and body. Nature-based adventures, in particular, have been shown to have therapeutic effects, enhancing mood and reducing stress. In essence, adventures can act as a multifaceted therapeutic approach for children with trauma, not only helping in their psychological recovery but also offering them the skills and experiences that contribute to their overall personal development. Through adventures, children learn that they are not defined by their past, but by the strength and courage they show in moving forward. Thank you for supporting this mission. These adventures can provide a safe space for children to step out of their comfort zones in a controlled manner. This stepping out, under guidance and support, enables them to confront fears, build confidence, and develop resilience. The novelty of adventures stimulates the brain in positive ways, helping to forge new, happier memories that can overlay the traumatic ones. It’s a way of teaching them, indirectly, that they can face new challenges and come through stronger.
