Four days of adventure, creativity, and connection in nature. Your child
comes home a little braver, a little calmer, and full of stories.
Four days of adventure, creativity, and connection in nature. Your child comes home a little braver, a little calmer, and full of stories.
Some things cannot be taught in a classroom. How to name what you are feeling. How to calm yourself when everything feels too big.
How to believe in your own voice. At Roots & Wings, children learn these quietly – through play, nature, and the simple magic of being seen.
Instead of meltdowns, real words. Children learn to say 'I am frustrated' instead of throwing things, 'I need space' instead of shutting down.
The kind that comes from being listened to, from finishing something hard, from realizing your ideas matter. Not loud confidence. Deep confidence.
Four days without screens, without competition, without social hierarchies. Just kids being kids together - building things, playing games, sharing stories around a fire.
Simple tools usable anywhere on tough days, before tests, with siblings. Breathing and movement techniques that truly stick.
Muddy hands, collected leaves, the memory of waking up to birdsong. A relationship with the outdoors that screens can never provide.
Adventures become dinner table conversations. 'Guess what we did today!' becomes the soundtrack of their return.
We don’t instruct – we create conditions where children feel safe enough to explore, express, and discover.
We wake with the forest. Children explore trails, spot birds, collect treasures, and learn to move through nature with curiosity and quiet attention.
Clay, paint, movement, music. No grades, no 'right way,' no competition. Just the freedom to create and the simple joy of getting messy. Process over product, always.
Journaling for those who want it. Stargazing. Quiet conversations by lamplight. The kind of peaceful stillness that children rarely get - and desperately need.
Gathered in a circle, a talking stick passes from hand to hand. Every child speaks. Every child listens. Stories emerge - real and imagined. This is where friendships begin.
Challenges that need everyone. Building trust, solving problems together, laughing a lot. Children discover that cooperation feels better than competition.
While most programs focus on fun or skills, Young SoulTales is designed around what matters for lasting growth – emotional safety, self-trust, and connection.

Every activity is grounded in developmental psychology (Erik Erikson's framework) and expressive movement therapy - not just entertainment.

We keep groups small so every child feels seen, heard, and safe enough to be themselves

Growth doesn't stop at the retreat. We equip parents with insights to continue supporting their child's emotional development at home.

Reflections from children, teens, and parents who experienced
emotional safety, growth, and connection.
Three weeks after the retreat, my daughter said something that stopped me: 'I used to think I wasn't good enough. Now I know I just needed to believe in myself.'
My son has always been the 'quiet one.' After BECOMING, he came home and actually talked to us. Not about the activities—about himself, his fears, his dreams.
I was skeptical—another expensive camp? But this was different. The facilitators genuinely cared about my child. She's been more confident, more expressive, more herself.
What I loved most was the parent guidance after. They didn't just 'fix' my child and send him back. They helped me understand how to continue what they started.
Not at all. Roots & Wings is an enrichment experience, like music lessons or sports camp - but for inner skills. We help all children build emotional vocabulary and self-awareness, not because something is wrong, but because these skills make life better. Think of it as giving your child tools they will use forever.
Perfect. Our small groups and gentle facilitation give quieter children space to open up at their own pace. There is no pressure to perform or compete. Many introverted children tell us this is the first place they have felt truly seen.
First-timers thrive here. Our facilitators are trained to support children through homesickness with warmth and patience. We maintain communication with parents,and the engaging activities keep children happily occupied. Most children surprise their parents - and themselves.
Our team includes trained expressive arts therapists and child development specialists. We maintain a high facilitator-to-child ratio to ensure every child receives individual attention. All facilitators undergo thorough background checks and child safety training.
Children attend independently - this is part of the experience. Being away from parents, in a safe environment, is how children discover their own capabilities. We provide regular updates and are always reachable for concerns.
Book a free discovery call with us. We will learn about your child, answer your questions, and help you choose the right fit. There is no pressure - just a conversation.
