Kids aren’t wired to sit still and talk about their feelings for an hour.

They process emotions through:

• Movement

• Play

• Exploration

• Connection

That’s where outdoor, ACT-based (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) activities come in.

By combining evidence-based therapy techniques with nature and recreation, kids are able to:

• Open up more naturally

• Practice skills in real-time

• Build confidence through experience—not just conversation

This isn’t just a fun outdoor group (although it is that too). It’s intentionally designed to teach skills that carry into everyday life.

During the 6-week program, kids will practice:

• Emotional awareness & expression
  Understanding what they feel and how to communicate it

• Mindfulness in motion
  Staying present and grounded—even during stress

• Coping tools for anxiety
  Real strategies they can use at school, home, and social situations

• Confidence & resilience
  Learning how to handle challenges and bounce back stronger

Here’s what you need to know:

When: Tuesdays, April 14 – May 19
Where: Outdoor trails in Utah County

Age Groups:

• Ages 5–7: 2:30 – 3:30 PM

• Ages 8–10: 4:00 – 5:00 PM

This program is currently in a beta test phase, which means your child gets to be part of shaping something new and impactful—while receiving high-quality support.

This group is a great fit if your child:

• Struggles with anxiety or big emotions

• Needs help building confidence

• Has a hard time expressing feelings

• Would benefit from social skill development

• Loves being outside (or needs a reason to get outside more)

If you’ve been looking for a way to support your child’s emotional growth in a setting that feels natural, fun, and meaningful—this is a great opportunity to try something different.
