Join us for the Upper Valley Youth Wellness Retreat, a transformative three-week program in July dedicated to youth mental health and wellness. Our daily retreat is designed for students in grades 2–12, offering a safe and supportive space to learn, grow, and connect. Hosted at the beautiful Milldale Farm Center for Wellness in Fairlee, Vermont!
Participants will:
✔️Gain a deeper understanding of anxiety—what it is, how it works, and how to manage it.
✔️ Develop coping skills to navigate challenges and build resilience.
✔️ Learn Youth Emotional CPR, an approach that teaches how to support themselves and others through emotional crises while fostering meaningful, heart-to-heart connections.
Through equine wellness, youth will experience the profound power of connection, not just with themselves but with another living being. Horses are highly sensitive to human emotions, making them incredible partners in self-awareness, emotional regulation, and energy management. Students will engage in activities such as caring for the horses, building trust through hands-on interactions, and, if they choose, progressing to balancing and riding. These experiences help youth recognize how their energy and emotions influence those around them, even when they feel they are in control.
But our retreat is about more than skill-building, it's about connection, friendship, learning, and, most importantly, fun! Participants will participate in hiking, swimming, yoga, singing, dance, and take part in engaging, hands-on group activities, all while forming lasting bonds with like-minded peers and trusted mentors.
Retreat Structure & Themes
The retreat is divided into three weekly themes, each designed to foster social and emotional growth:
- Week 1 (7/6-7/9): Connect – Building relationships and - understanding emotions.
Week 2 (7/13-7/16): Empower – Developing confidence and self-awareness.
- Week 3 (7/20-23): Revitalize – Strengthening resilience and well-being.
While we encourage full three-week participation, the minimum commitment is one week. Each week offers unique experiences that build on one another, but all provide valuable tools for emotional and mental wellness
We can't wait to welcome your child for another unforgettable summer! 🌟
