AGES 6 - 11

Why Roots & Wings

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.

Why Roots & Wings

WHAT CHILDREN DISCOVER

What They Will Bring Home

PHOTO-2022-05-08-18-02-28

Words for Big Feelings

Instead of meltdowns, real words. Children learn to say 'I am frustrated' instead of throwing things, 'I need space' instead of shutting down.

Quiet Confidence

The kind that comes from being listened to, from finishing something hard, from realizing your ideas matter. Not loud confidence. Deep confidence.

Real Friendships

Four days without screens, without competition, without social hierarchies. Just kids being kids together - building things, playing games, sharing stories around a fire.

A Calmer Body

Simple tools usable anywhere on tough days, before tests, with siblings. Breathing and movement techniques that truly stick.

A Love for Nature

Muddy hands, collected leaves, the memory of waking up to birdsong. A relationship with the outdoors that screens can never provide.

Stories to Tell

Adventures become dinner table conversations. 'Guess what we did today!' becomes the soundtrack of their return.

MEET OUR TEAM

Trained Facilitators Who Hold Space

We don’t instruct – we create conditions where children feel safe enough to explore, express, and discover.

A DAY AT ROOTS & WINGS

What a Day Looks Like

Morning Adventures

We wake with the forest. Children explore trails, spot birds, collect treasures, and learn to move through nature with curiosity and quiet attention.

Making Things

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.

Winding Down

Journaling for those who want it. Stargazing. Quiet conversations by lamplight. The kind of peaceful stillness that children rarely get - and desperately need.

Stories & Circles

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.

Games Without Winners

Challenges that need everyone. Building trust, solving problems together, laughing a lot. Children discover that cooperation feels better than competition.

WHAT SETS US APART

More Than a Camp. A Developmental Experience.

While most programs focus on fun or skills, Young SoulTales is designed around what matters for lasting growth – emotional safety, self-trust, and connection.

Psychology-Backed Approach

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

Small, Intentional Groups

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

Parent Partnership

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

Testimonials

From Parents Who Have Sent Their Children

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.'

Anita Sharma Parent of Roots & Wings Participant

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.

Rohan Mehta Parent of Becoming Participant

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.

Neha Kapoor Parent of Roots & Wings Participant

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.

Vikram Iyer Parent of Becoming Participant
