This group is designed to help children feel excited about the school year ahead. Our goals will be to reduce school anxiety and refusal, as well as improving social skills and task management. We’ll also be offering private sessions with parents to give them education and skills to support their child. Students can sign up by contacting our office or me directly at [email protected]

Heart to Art Summer Camp
Hearts to Art Camp
The Auditorium presents our award-winning summer camp, Hearts to Art! This unique performing arts camp brings together young people between the ages of 7 and 14 who have experienced the death of a parent to encourage the healing power of creative play. Through the exploration and creation of dance, theatre, and music, Hearts to Art inspires communication and collaboration, fosters emotional growth, and provides friendship, compassion and community. Through interaction with young people who have experienced a similar loss, campers understand they are not alone. Small group creative activities are facilitated by professional healing counselors, providing campers a safe time and place to express and share their feelings with peers. Counselors on site throughout the duration of camp to offer support as needed.
