The World Is Facing A Reskilling Crisis
-
1 Billion People Need To Be Reskilled by 2030
-
42% of Core Skills to Perform Existing Jobs Will Change by 2022
-
High Tech & Interpersonal Skills Will Be the Highest In Demand
Campers will be introduced to games that support emotional intelligence through:
-
introducing new emotional vocabulary to express what they are feeling and thinking,
-
developing a growth mindset and communication skills,
-
exploring the use of inquiry and how more generative and open questions can provide opportunities to explore what you love,
-
interactions with horses that build trust, self-control, self-regulation, and resilience,
-
working with teammates to experience effective group dynamics.
Caring for and riding horses provides a unique and fun environment for campers to develop awareness of:
-
how their body language and attitude effects their interactions and relationships,
-
how they might present and communicate themselves more authentically,
-
how to be more compassionate and understanding (empathy),
-
how to become a leader that cares about others successes as much as their own, and
-
how focusing on the positive turns the light inside of all of us into life (What plants do!).
Our wellness and leadership camp is much more than a horse camp, it's a life changing experience where campers will increase their physical and mental wellness and develop responsibility and respect for themselves, others, horses, and the world around them.
Join us at our Open House on Saturday, July 24th from 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM!
