This interactive workshop takes the keynote insights and puts them directly into practice. Participants will explore concrete strategies that bring PERMA-V (Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishment, Vitality) alive in everyday camp life. Through hands-on activities and peer sharing, attendees will leave with a toolkit of daily practices and design ideas tailored for their camp.

Camp as a Launchpad: Building Well-Being at Camp

Camp is more than cabins and campfires; it’s one of the most powerful laboratories for human growth and connection. In this keynote, Clare Davenport weaves together cutting-edge science and practical camp wisdom to show how well-being frameworks can transform the camp experience for staff, campers, owners and families alike. With humour, stories, and research-backed insights, she demonstrates how small shifts can help create a culture where everyone thrives.
