Okay to Say
Mental Health Patch-In-A-Box 5-Day Virtual Camp
In partnership with Girl Scouts San Jacinto Council, the Okay to Say mental health awareness campaign, and Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute. The Okay to Say Mental Health Patch-in-a-Box Camp is a health themed camp designed to help girls develop greater social and emotional confidence. Through hands-on learning and experimentation, such as learning about brain anatomy; completing exciting hands-on STEM activities and exploring ways to manage stress through the use of mindfulness, girls will increase their social awareness and interpersonal skills in a fun and intuitive way. Girls will have intelligent fun, make new “virtual” friends, and make the most out of their spring break!

Please note that enrollment for all camps closes at 11:59 PM the Monday prior to the start of camp. An on-boarding email will be sent by the Friday evening.
