Camp Aware offers fun, self-discovery

BONSALL — Local youth ages 6 to 16 will have a new place to gather to share their vision for the world in which they want to live.

It’s called Camp Aware, and the event is being held by The Stream on Sunday, October 18, from 1 to 4 p.m.

“The purpose of Camp Aware is to give kids of all ages a place to go and see what it feels like to have their dreams supported by adults and other children,” said Ann Brennan, Stream director of youth services. “At Camp Aware, we’re going to support them to express their vision, and we’re going to give them tools to help them bring their dreams into reality, tools such as compassion for themselves and others.”

At the event, kids will have the opportunity to express their vision and creativity through music, singing and movement and experience being part of a community of peers who empower each other. Kids will be grouped age-appropriately and parents are welcome to attend.

The event will be co-led by Ann Brennan, MA, a certified teacher who has worked with children of all ages for more than 20 years, and Richard Hillix-Di Santo, MSEd, a school counselor with more than 25 years of experience working with students at the elementary and secondary levels.

Camp Aware will be held in Bonsall and is free of charge, with a suggested donation of $5 to cover the cost of materials.
