“Parenting Camp for Families Raising Children with Behavior Challenges
Currently, Turning Point Camp takes place twice per year. These week-long family camps are designed to help families connect and help challenging children redirect their paths. This program is designed for children ages 4-12. The focus of camp is to renew, recharge, and empower each parent and child with effective techniques to increase love and laughter in their homes. Skill-building interventions are taught and practiced to build trust, honesty, self-control, and conscience development for each child.
Each morning, parents attend a three-hour training, encouragement, and support session. They will then practice the newly acquired skills, with staff support, to fine-tune the interventions to fit the needs of their family. The lessons include:
- Understanding the brain and how to heal it
- Creating and maintaining the heart-to-heart connection
- Helping children develop honesty, conscience, and self-control
- Teaching children to be respectful, responsible, and fun
- Teaching children how to deal with thoughts and feelings
- Building self-worth
The opportunity to connect with other parents who understand your experience awaits you. You are not alone. If you want to make a difference in the life of your child, join us. We can reach for success together.
