Description of Dancing Jaguar's Spirit Camp

Dancing Jaguar's Spirit Camp is a unique program that teaches children to focus inward and to learn how to navigate their inner landscape.  When children are at school, they are nurturing their minds; when they play sports they are nurturing their bodies; and when they attend Spirit Camp, they are nurturing their spirit -- that wonderful essence that makes each child a unique, beautiful individual.  By teaching children how to develop self-awareness and practice self-compassion, we are setting them up for success for the rest of their lives.

All of our curricula are introduced through games, crafts, activities, and songs which create a fun, interactive, and educational means of learning important life skills.

Religion is not a part of Spirit Camp.  Children are exposed to mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and other modalities that assist them in connecting to their inner world, but religious dogma is not included in the curriculum. Rather than learning to use a set of rules to navigate the ups and downs of life, children develop their inner compass. By learning to listen to their inner voice, they come to trust themselves to make choices that will sustain minds, bodies, and spirits. Spirituality is present at Spirit Camp as children explore the essence of who they are, and the essence of all living things. 

Spirit Camp places a strong emphasis on its commitment to the natural environment. Every day, campers spend time outdoors exploring the environment. They will enhance their sense of the world around them by paying close attention to what they hear, see, and feel.  In Milwaukee, we will spend time each day in Juneau Park across the street from The Knickerbocker on the Lake. 

The Curriculum

Children learn the following (and more!) at Dancing Jaguar's Spirit Camp

Creating sacred space and sacred tools

Guided Visualizations 

The spirit within each of us contains a small, quiet voice, - our intuition.  This voice can also be referred to as "our higher self" or "higher consciousness."  Using games, crafts, songs, and activities to connect to that inner essence, children at Spirit Camp are encouraged to trust their intuition, honor their truth and speak from the heart.  What an important set of goals! 

Spirit Camp is a brand new kind of summer camp.  Its purpose is to assist children to connect to the essence of who they are, to learn how to nurture that essence, and to trust it when they have important decisions to make.  Isn't that what we all want for our children?

The Results Speak for Themselves!

Children thrive in Spirit Camp!  Here are a few testimonials from parents:

"This camp experience will help to shape my daughter's whole future.  Her knowledge that she is connected to the universe around her will give her so many places to look for strength and support throughout her life.  I will definitely be sending her again!" ~Bronwen Pierson

"I recommend Eva and her classes to any family. Maddy had a shell thicker than leather and Eva's calm nature and spirit camp classes transformed Maddy into a social butterfly. ~Caitlin Seigars

"It is THE camp I wish was available when I was a kid.  Eva Goulette is the founder and educator at Dancing Jaguar Inspirations.  I can’t say enough amazing things about it! Clara’s been 3 yrs and Vivian went for the first time this year.  They learn chakras, and breathing exercises, find their animal spirit guides, and use skills for comfort and protection. It’s absolutely amazing!!"  ~Marylena Chaisson
