Play is beneficial for ALL ages. It positively impacts brain growth, academic development, social emotional wellbeing and enhances creative and critical thinking across generations. Sadly, playful learning has been removed from many educational spaces in spite of the overwhelming evidence that PLAY is needed now more than ever. In this this four-part webinar series, we will dig into the research, generate a multitude of hands-on engaging experiences for campers, and most importantly, PLAY! Each meeting will focus on a different component that play is all about!
Series Workshops:
People – May 5th from 2-3pm Eastern
Play builds community. As people, as humans, we must seek ways to bring playful experiences into every as many aspects of life as possible to strengthen the bonds of those we live and work with. Time, Space, and Opportunity are key. Join us to learn more about how play makes you a better person
Learning – May 12th from 2-3pm Eastern
The brain benefits of play and its affect on learning have been widely noted. It is the work of the child, but also the work of adults. Playful experiences make the learning stick! Want to know more about the neuroscience? This webinar is for you!
Acceptance – May 19th from 2-3pm Eastern
If ever there was a time for more empathy in the world, now is it. It’s hard to hate those with whom you play. Play strengthens our human bonds and helps to accept others. Join us for this important chat about the power of play in relationships.
Yee-Haw – May 26th from 2-3pm Eastern
Playing is FUN! There are all kinds of ways to do it. The most important part is that you LOVE what you are doing and make it great! A big hardy YEE-HAW makes us all feel good. As we close out this webinar, we will celebrate our playful personalities and find the type that suits us best!
