JULY 28-AUG 1, 2025:
This summer, we’re offering teens a supportive and creative space to explore their emotions, build confidence, and connect with others — all through the power of art!
This art therapy group provides a lively, encouraging environment where participants ages 12-15 can use creativity as a tool for self-expression, self-reflection, and connection. Art therapy can provide:
A non-verbal outlet for expressing complex emotions like sadness, anger, anxiety, and frustration.
An effective therapeutic tool to build self esteem, grow confidence, and reduce stress.
Support for positive social skill development by encouraging cooperation and communication.
Plus, it can be relaxing, rewarding, and fun!
During our week-long art therapy camp, activities will be tailored to the group’s needs, fostering connection while allowing each teen to explore their own creative voice. Using a variety of artistic mediums and specific themes, we’ll promote both self-reflection and group engagement. Participants will learn about art therapy as a tool for better understanding and expressing their emotions, thoughts, and experiences, while building lasting tools for personal growth and well-being.
