Beauty Camp is a day camp for teen girls ages 13-18. We educate girls about life and all of its experiences and choices in a positive, fun environment. The focus is as much on inner beauty as outer beauty. Classes include makeup, skin care, hairstyling, fashion, nutrition, dance, career choices, goal setting and volunteering for local charities and many “girl issues” such as menstruation, dealing with friends/enemies, peer pressure and boys. Teens are encouraged to participate and challenge themselves to grow mentally and emotionally. Camp participants will not only realize who they are and how others view them, but they will also discover who they aspire to be.These days, admirable role models for young women are hard to come by. Instead, we are constantly bombarded with images and stories of young celebrities glamorizing a life of drugs, alcohol, reckless partying, arrests and stints at rehab. In today’s society with these types of standards, it is our responsibility to provide youth with more positive examples on how to lead a purposeful life. The decisions teens make everyday, will affect their lives forever. Teen years are packed with many first time experiences for girls: peer pressure, dating, boyfriends, driving, dances, circle of friends, seeking employment, working, preparing for college, etc. It takes more than common sense when faced with a completely new situation to make the best decision.
All About Me Beauty Camp staff will share valuable insight and advice, so that the teens will better understand life situations and all of the potential outcomes. Therefore, when teens find themselves in these predicaments, the teens are empowered to make informed decisions with confidence. Through fun activities, discussions, interaction and volunteer work, communication skills improve, bettering relationships of family and friends. Discovering a higher level of self respect, ethics, confidence, and self esteem, facilitates the realization that they are in control of their own destiny.
