YOUNG PEOPLE at SUMMER SCHOOL

Young people are a valued part of the summer school experience. It is proposed to run sessions for young people during the time of the adult workshops if there is a demand. Please note that the organising committee needs to know by the end of March if there is likely to be a demand.

The sessions will be run by two experienced facilitators, and will incorporate Adlerian principles of co-operation and encouragement. There are likely to be games, creative activities, swimming (a trained life guard is on duty at all times the swimming pool is open), story telling amongst other activities.

Young people will remain at all times the responsibility of the parent or guardian who brings them to summer school.

Costs:

Residential: £350 for each child.

Non-residential: £150 for each child.

Streamer: (includes one session + swim + one meal) £55 for each child (£55 for earlybirds).

A small number of subsidies may be considered for families on a case-by-case basis of need from the Adlerian Sanctuary Trust, for either a further contribution to the day rate or help to attend residentially. Please apply in the first instance to Unity-Joy Dale.

Teens only - Stepping into MY OWN SHOES
This workshop aims to be full of fun, laughter and self discovery as we explore life as a teen. Together we will look at our and others expectations of us and challenge each of us to explore and develop our Options, Beliefs, Dreams and Goals as we step into adulthood.
Time to Stop Tolerating and Live my Life
In this workshop the challenge is to open each of us to full awareness of that which we are tolerating both big and small in our daily lives. Using positive, useful and fun Life Coaching approaches and skills, begin to let go, daring to choose the life we really want NOW, fully, relaxed, focused and enriched.
