As this camp is in nature and in group, children who need extra attention behaviourally or physically will need to come with their own support person. This is to ensure that everyone gets the support they need. Please email Dr. Monika @ growingmamalove@gmail.com if you have questions regarding this before you register.
Camps are held seasonally in Canmore, Alberta led by Dr. Monika and her helpers.
Camps are eco-conscious, fun and soul-nourishing - many artistic Waldorf-inspired elements are woven through them.
Overall theme is Fairies. These playful, loving beings inspire so much imagination, story and artistic activity and deepen a child's connection to Nature and all the Elements (Water, Earth, Fire and Air) in a magical way.
Artistic activity and stories flow easily out of this simple inspiration of the Fairies and there is always plenty of time and space for discovery and play.
In the Camps, the Fairies friendship and mentorship often comes in the form of beautiful letters complete with burnt edges, fancy writing and sparkles (!) hidden in stumps or on branches and from these we are led to the forests and meadows to gather herbal medicines to create potions, teas and salves for well-being or to go on magical adventures with the Fairies to help an animal in need or … so many possibilities …. Join us!
Fairy Camp Feedback
““It’s her favourite camp!””
““I asked Abby, ’How was your day at Camp? and she paused, took a breath and whispered, “Magical.””
““She talked about and brought those 3 days of the Camp into her whole Summer and beyond! The Camp does not end at the end of the last day —- it’s the beginning of something special that grows in the girls. Thank you for creating this experience. I wanna go to Fairy Camp too !!!””

““ It’s been 6 years since Ali participated in the “Fairy Rings and Magical Things Fairy Camp” and even though she’s 12 years old now she has still kept and treasures everything she made with you all at the camp. That was such an unforgettable, empowering experience for her. Thank you Dr. Monika!” ”
““Thanks for creating such Magical camps. This was her fourth year of Fairy Camps with you and it just keeps getting better.””
