Dr. Monika's Fairy Nature Camp Back Story
As a mom I have always felt most at peace and soul happy when I am out in nature with my children and their friends, soaking up the magic that unfolds in this most amazing of play-scapes. I knew I wanted to support this relationship with my children and I also knew that if I wasn't intentional about it they would miss out on what I have come to understand as a foundational resource for lifetime vitality --- our connection with nature.
In 2009, I started looking for a way to engage my children in nature and support their connection in a way that really met them where they were at and I noticed that children - mine and others - naturally loved Fairies. Even though I had limited experience with leading groups of children or creating events (except for birthday parties) when my naturopathic doctor asked me one day when I was in the Zen zone at the end of a treatment what I was going to create next, "Nature Fairy Camps for Kids!" came out to both our surprise (and in the end, delight!). So it began.
Fairy Camp memories are rich and run deep in our home. Every year I tell my daughter that this is probably the last Summer Fairy Camp I'll run and every year the impulse rises in me to host a Camp or two and I cannot not! The camps are so enjoyable for facilitators and participants alike - even though the camps have had up to 15 children and takes some good planning and energy I always feel better in all ways after leading a camp. Somehow it is not depleting at all!
Why the Fairy Nature Camp Creator Program?
For years adults have been asking when they get to go to a Fairy Camp(!). (-: These requests, and the vision of Fairy Camps happening in neighbourhoods all over the world, has been the fuel behind this Fairy Nature Camp (in your town) Training. It was initially designed to support moms and teachers who are keen on nature connection to bring more play into their own life while creating magical lifelong memories for children.
Who is this Training For?
In truth anyone who is heart-centered and nature loving who enjoys being with children and nature will love creating and offering these camps.
Children in day homes or homeschooling groups would surely be thrilled by caregivers/parents putting this together for them!
Moms, Schools, Daycares, Community Center Summer Camp Leaders and nature loving grandparents have purchased this Program.
Save Time and Energy While Providing an Unforgettable Experience for Your Children ...
Many of us want this kind of experience for the children in our care but done from scratch can feel like more of a task then what we have resources for. Where to start, where do I find resources, etc.
Dr. Monika has spent hundreds of hours creating and running these camps as well as the stories and rhymes and adventures and Fairy Queen letters that weave their way through the Fairy Nature Camp days. She has condensed her Camp Creation experiences into an easy-to-use format for you to work from - still leaving lots of opportunity for you to easily add your own creativity as you are inspired.
This 3-Part training provides you with templates and resources to simplify the process so that even the first one you run goes smoothly.
“I found Monika Herwig's wonderful Fairy Camp creator program a few summers ago. I had decided to run a small summer fairy camp and was not quite sure where to start. One of the things I appreciate most about Monika's approach is the lovely way in which she imparts love and nurturing to both children and adults alike through her perception of the fairies. Monika is a healer at heart and this becomes immediately clear as one embarks upon the fairy camp creator program. I found the program immensely helpful in my journey towards understanding how to create a fun and friendly atmosphere which invites magic, through the powers of love and friendship. Monika is one of those special people who knows how to connect us to the love all around us, so that we as teachers are more able to hold a magical space for our little ones.” Catherine, Bowen Island, B.C.
This program was designed knowing that your life is full and it can be hard to get to anything extra.
Each Module has an audio component (some with Powerpoint so you can get a visual glimpse of past Camp activities) and a Template to fill in so can be designing your unique Camp as you take in the Module Content.
"If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in." Rachel Carson
