AND THIS IS WHERE WE (APRIL 2023)

I invite you to step into the world of the Inner Self Under the Sun summer camp (or IS-US for short). Although it may seem like any other summer camp located next to a lake, this one has a unique purpose: to help kids struggling with their mental health. To do so, each kid is paired with an adult “Core” who has the same mental disorder as they do. Over the two-week session, the child gets to learn from their Core that growing up with mental health issues isn’t so scary, while the adult gets to reconnect with their inner child.
