The Full Circle Friday blog is your source for insights on how the power of camp can transform education. We share stories, research, and practical ideas for fostering youth development, social-emotional learning, and community in schools and beyond.

We provide staff development, workshops, and resources to help schools, camps, and organizations integrate the Circle of Courage into their programs. From professional development workshops for educators and camp staff to curriculum design, our services are tailored to create a culture of Belonging, Mastery, Independence, and Generosity in any learning environment.

Meet the passionate educators behind Courage of Camp. Our team brings a wealth of diverse perspectives and expertise in youth development, experiential learning, and social-emotional growth, all united by a shared mission to bring the power of camp into every school. We've had the privilege of working with countless camps across the United States, and it's through these invaluable partnerships that our team's vision and work are truly made complete.

The Circle of Courage is a powerful youth development model based on four universal needs of all children: Belonging, Mastery, Independence, and Generosity. Rooted in Indigenous wisdom and modern research, this framework is our guide for building strong, resilient, and compassionate individuals.

Camp is the ideal environment for a child to experience the Circle of Courage in action. Through fun, engaging activities and a supportive community, children naturally develop a sense of belonging, achieve personal mastery, gain crucial independence, and discover the joy of generosity by helping others.
