All are welcome to join our Stoke Camp Program.

How do we communicate with our referred party? We approach them with full care, empathy and support, asking if they would like their child to be a part of our Stoke Camp, and that their coach/teacher/mentor has referred them to our program. We approach our program more as an invitational, inclusive service rather than "counseling" or "therapy" (although we do feel therapy is very cool and needed).

What is the Stoke Camp? It is a Social Iinitiative for children and their caregivers to initiate reaching their creative potential, as we find solutions to navigate hardships. The Stoke Camp is inclusive, and once an individual participates in our program they can continue services, or work towards the Stoke Crew Leadership Team to support their peers. Awe aim to provide Social, Emotional, Relational skills and building blocks that are based on their unique gifts and sharing them. Our priority is to immerse and integrate cultural and social awareness, social justice, and ocean conservancy into sessions and to stimulate their creativity and souls.

How do you become a part of the Stoke Crew Leadership Team? We will provide an application in the upcoming year for individuals to fill out. We also take recommendations from the community to nominate leadership in children.
