After a year hiatus for global travels, studies and teaching, Coronado resident Laura Plumb will host year five of her Sophia Leadership Camp for Girls this August. This year the camp is working in partnership with Coronado’s Soroptimist Club and their “Dream It, Be It” career mentorship program. DIBI is designed to provide girls with access to professional role models, career education and the resources to live their dreams. “It’s a match made in heaven,” says Laura Plumb, “Dream It, Be It and Sophia Camp are perfect for one another, and together we will give everything we have to the young women who join us this August.”
The 2017 Sophia Leadership Camp for Girls will be August 7-11, 2017, here in Coronado. It’s for middle school girls, with three places open for high school girls to participate as “Junior Camp Counselors.” Sophia Camp is dedicated to cultivating self-esteem, self-regulation and self-care through Yoga, Ayurveda, productive play and expressive arts. The camp is designed to develop leadership and resiliency by connecting each camper to her truth, her heart, her wisdom, and her life power.
“A week isn’t a whole lot of time to do that,” says Laura, “but we do hear some powerful testimonies from our campers!”
Here is what the mother of a camper named Emma shared with us after the last Sophia camp:
“This camp has shown the girls another perspective, one based in self-respect, self-confidence and in personal awareness and truth. Emma came away with skills to stand firm and tall in who she really is, and to embrace her nature and naturalness. Every activity, guest, meal and project helped to build a greater sense of personal power through positive choice. We will carry the many joys and blessings of this magical week throughout the coming year, and then some.” ~ Emma’s Mom
