Course Overview

Celebrating Every Child’s Unique Hues

Cool School: HUES of You is a heart-centered summer camp for children in grades 1–4 that helps them understand who they are and how they fit into the bigger world. Through joyful, hands-on activities, campers build confidence, compassion, and cultural awareness while learning to celebrate what makes each person unique.

This camp is designed to nurture children who know themselves, appreciate the “hues of humanity,” and recognize their ability to help shape a kinder, more welcoming community.

Identity & Self-Discovery for Young Children

HUES of You gives kids a safe, positive space to explore their interests, strengths, and identities. Activities are age-appropriate and built around stories, art, and discussion.
