How to Be Super
This Storytelling "pocket" camp is designed for children 7 years and older, though appropriate for younger. Campers are introduced to the four steps of Storying, how to access your Superpowers, and how to work in a Power Group with other Superheroes with different powers!
Through the camp, your children will discover their Superpowers, learn how to strengthen them, and most importantly, come to understand how to use them to help others.
Dynamic Lessons
Each training will consist of a video introduction by David and Meredith that frames the theme of the training and a description of the practice work for that mission.
Self Directed
A printable practice sheet for each mission contains the directions for each mission, as well as any important lists or charts. Campers can be self-directed in how they use this camp.
Advanced Options
There are additional missions for advanced and returning campers — children older than nine years, and children who have completed other storytelling camps.

FAQ
CAN MY CHILD DO THE CAMP COMPLETELY ON HER OWN?
Your child can watch the videos and complete the practice worksheets & projects on her own, however we recommend parent overview of the child's participation in the course. Some of the exercises ask the child to be introspective and self-aware, in ways that may be new to them. Children may want or need parent-engagement in this process. Additionally there are "walks" and adventures that will need family-appropriate boundary & limit setting. Lastly, there will be practice worksheets to print and supplies to gather, which may necessitate parent support.
WHAT IS THE TIME COMMITMENT FOR THIS CAMP?
Each weekly video lesson is around 45 minutes long. There is one practice assignment each week which we estimate could take anywhere from 20 minutes to two hours depending on how thorough your child wishes to be. There are also “Advanced Camper” exercises that are more comprehensive and could take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours.
DOES MY CHILD NEED TO LISTEN TO THE SPARKLE STORIES IN ORDER TO JOIN THE CAMP?
No. The stories are the inspiration behind the camps and demonstrate the lessons in the camp, but it is not necessary for your child to know the stories in order to benefit from the lessons. However - throughout the camp, the trainers reference key moments in the stories for context and as examples. If your child is unfamiliar with Sparkle Stories, you can enjoy an extended 30 day free trial here.
DOES MY CHILD NEED TO BE ABLE TO READ & WRITE TO PARTICIPATE?
Not at all. All three camps are a combination of videos, practice worksheets, and in the case of the Interactive camp, live "trainings." The worksheets were created with learning differences in mind and can be completed with writing, drawing, or both. As long as parents or caregivers are willing to read instructions out loud, you'll be set!
