Camp Colman Stories

"My son came home full of stories about his adventures: the giant swing, drumming, climbing, games. He really appreciated the evening values circle, and enjoyed the campfires. He spoke highly of his counselors, and he looked up to them. My husband and I appreciated the opportunity for our son to spread his wings, try new things, and meet other kids both like and unlike him.

Yoga for Stress Resilience

Breathe, Stretch, Re-charge Join instructor Jenny Leung as she helps you use yoga as a therapeutic antidote to stress: slowing down, doing less, and open to receiving. The practice of restorative yoga allows the release of mental, physical and emotional exhaustion, tension and patterning, thus building resilience on all levels.
