Art & Life Skills Outdoor Camp
At ERU Collective we believe each child has unique gifts and we make offerings to support those gifts to grow and develop. We have a holistic approach of being of service to the whole child by offering emotional and nervous system support in these ever changing and challenging times. We offer classes for the purpose of giving children opportunities to see where their unique gifts lie, with practical experience for real life.
Each child comes with unique gifts. We are here to support them to embody them.
Our Offerings…
-
Song Circle
Singing makes us feel feel good (promoting the release of oxytocin and endorphin) and is a critical tool for social bonding. Cumulative songs are fun and beneficial because the singers must remember an ever growing list of items (e.g., birds, bugs, eyelashes), cumulative songs have a game-like quality good for sharpening memory.

Creating a Comic
We explore creative writing, artistry, editing and coloring. In this process we learn to work as a team, find our strengths and weaknesses, to collaborate and create a piece of art. The class will have the option to publish & sell the book at the end or make it part of the ERU collective offerings and decide where the proceeds will go as a group.

Emotional Literacy
Emotional literacy is made up of 'the ability to understand your emotions, the ability to listen to others and empathize with their emotions, and the ability to express emotions productively. To be emotionally literate is to be able to handle emotions in a way that improves your personal power and improves the quality of life around you.
