As we find ourselves immersed in another unforgettable summer at camp, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on a topic that is close to our hearts: mental health. Here at Capital Camps, we believe that nurturing the emotional well-being of our campers is just as vital as fostering their physical and intellectual growth.
Our dedicated counselors are at the forefront of promoting positive mental health practices among our campers. Through meaningful connections, active listening, and compassionate support, they create a safe space where campers can express themselves freely and develop lifelong coping skills. Whether through group discussions, one-on-one chats, or structured activities focused on emotional awareness, our counselors are committed to guiding campers toward emotional resilience.
At Capital Camps, we recognize that mental health is a community effort. That’s why we build such a strong team of yoetzot. They provide ongoing resources and guidance to both campers and staff. As we continue to evolve and grow as a community, we remain committed to prioritizing mental health. Through open dialogue, and a supportive environment, we aim to empower our campers to thrive emotionally and socially. Together, we can foster a camp experience where every camper feels valued, understood, and supported.
