CHRYSALIS 2019 Summer Camps

Chrysalis by UncoverU is a series of unique “learning by discovery” workshops designed to promote the pre/teen’s confidence, self-discovery and expression. At the core of Chrysalis is the belief that, to change the world, our youth need to activate their superpowers of play, compassion and responsibility. The key to the expression of these superpowers is mastering communication in the three pillars of success and happiness.

All UncoverU programs incorporate a multi-model approach, infusing various forms of the arts for self-expression, including acting techniques, dance, music, painting, writing & digital expressions amongst others.

During the summer program, we will explore

SELF

Self and pre/teen’s relationship with self – how teens talk to themselves and relate to the world around them.

Topics Covered

Personal communication, personal, social and financial responsibility, presentations and more.

FAMILY & IMMEDIATE GROUPS

Relationships with family and friends – how effective interpersonal communication leads to stronger bonds and joy.

Topics Covered

Empathy, compassion, inter-personal communication, dealing with difficulties, dealing with bullies and difficult people and more.

COMMUNITY

Connection to the broader community – Recognizing that we are the creators of the world we experience, and we are also the agents of change.

Topic Covered

Working in groups, managing projects, leadership, standing for things bigger then self.
