Kindness Camp
What is Kindness Camp?
Kindness Camp is a program designed to nurture empathy, compassion, and community-mindedness in children. Through engaging activities like storytelling, art, movement, and music, campers explore what it means to be kind—to themselves, to others, to the earth, and to the world around them.
Whether it’s through teamwork, creative expression, or thoughtful conversations, Kindness Camp empowers children to see their own potential to make a positive impact. It’s more than just a summer camp—it’s a foundation for a lifetime of empathy and connection.

“Tonight, four-year-old, Holden was trying to fall asleep and he called me into his room. He said, ‘Mama, what’s an action?’ I explained that it was something you do and gave a couple examples. He replied with, ‘Well, I need to know the actions to be an upstander.’ We spent a few minutes talking about what actions an upstander might use. I can’t tell you how much I love that these are the thoughts that he’s falling asleep to. Thank you!” —Stephanie Van Orsow
