Camp Create

CAMP CREATE is a children’s day camp for girls
and boys, ages 7 to 12, who have experienced
or witnessed violence. This week-long camp will
rely on expressive therapies such as art making,
movement, writing, drama and music to provide
a safe, supportive and nurturing environment.
Camp Create offers structured activities that
incorporate the five senses, while addressing
common topics familiar to children survivors
such as safety, boundaries, anger, guilt, loss
and self-esteem.

Camp Create is a safe space for children
who have survived trauma to have fun, make
friends and experience that they are not alone.
Children will have opportunities to share
and grow throughout this creative week
of exploration through the 5 senses.

Each day of camp includes healthy morning
snacks and lunches. The camp will be facilitated
by a team of therapists, educators, and
advocates from the Cleveland Rape Crisis
Center. There is no cost to participate.

Dates: July 9th-13th, 2012
Time: 10:00am to 4:00pm
Location: Lakewood Park Women’s Pavilion
14532 Lake Avenue
(Corner of Belle Avenue and Lake Avenue)
