Kids Summer Camps
Kids Yoga Camp ages 5-7, & 8-10
Youth Yoga ages 6-10
Heartwood closes one week in the summer so we can devote the property exclusively to our youth campers ages 4-12 for a safe, action packed, yoga-friendly experience. Our programs give kids a chance to spread out and enjoy both indoor and outdoor experiences on our beautiful grounds with art, movement, and creative games designed to explore the natural world and our healthiest selves. Students learn age appropriate yoga and meditation in ways that are anything but dull, including aerial yoga, partner yoga, blindfolded yoga and more.
Space is limited and our camp follows an intense youth teacher training so newly certified teachers stay for an internship during this camp. This means we maintain a ratio of at least one teacher to every 4-5 kids (sometimes 1-2!) and our own experienced staff is on board, guiding everyone as well, so the day remains progressive and educational, while also assuring everyone gets individual attention from eager, qualified yoga professionals. Space is limited, so sign up early! Students bring lunch each day, but snacks are provided.
