Kids’ resiliency day camps return to northcentral West Virginia counties this summer

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — A summer day camp designed to help kids develop resiliency and healthy social-emotional skills returns to five northcentral West Virginia counties this summer. Camp Mindful Warriors, a program presented by the West Virginia University Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute’s Healthy Minds-Clarksburg, works with children to promote effective stress management, emotional regulation, communication, and coping skills.

Camp Mindful Warriors is staffed by mental health specialists, youth outreach specialists, and counselors and uses evidence-based learning frameworks that include the Nurturing Parenting program, a family-centered trauma-informed initiative designed to build nurturing families; and MindUP®, a social-emotional learning program for children.
