Course Overview
Explore the Colorful World of Feelings
Featuring a brand-new curriculum, Inside Out - Social Emotional Learning invites children in grades 1–4 to step into the world of emotions and build emotional intelligence through playful, hands-on learning. Inspired by the beloved animated film, this camp helps campers understand what they feel, why they feel it, and healthy ways to express those emotions.
