HeartWise Camps

Adults go first.

A HeartWise Camp is where the adults in a school or an organisation practise what they will ask of everyone else: calm, connection and repair. Take a camp on its own, or as step 3 of HeartWise Certified.

You do not need to be perfect to do this well. You need to be present, warm, and willing to go first.

Two camps

One idea, two places to practise

Both camps put the adults first. Choose the one that matches the people you work with.

For teachers and school staff

HeartWise Teachers’ Camp

Practise the inner work of teaching before you bring it to children. The camp draws on The HeartWise Teacher, the Teacher Guidebook and the Teacher’s Workbook.

  • Practise the Zones and L.A.N.T.E.R.N. on yourself first.
  • Practise repair, and connection before correction.
  • Leave with a twelve-week plan for your classroom.

  • Practise the Zones and L.A.N.T.E.R.N. between colleagues.

  • Leave with a twelve-week plan for your team.

How a camp fits the Certified journey

Step 3 is everyone trained

A camp is one way to train every adult in a place. For HeartWise Certified, every member of staff is trained, not only the leaders. On-site training is the other way.

Where and when

Calm places, dates to be announced

At your own place

A camp can happen at your school or organisation, so the practice sits where the work is.

Or somewhere calm

A camp can also happen at a calm place that we agree together. No venue is named yet.

Dates will be announced

When dates are announced, everyone who registered interest hears first.
