Fire and Flower's Empowerment Camps

Fire & Flower empowers self-identified girls and non-binary youth in their incredible transition or rite of passage into adolescence. Through mentorship, nature connection, and community-building, we create a space of radical acceptance for youth to know, feel, see and express how amazing they are, just as they are. Participants build confidence and pride in being themselves and moving on to their next significant stage in life. This is a LGBTQ2SIAP+ inclusive space, and a space where we honour each other’s ancestry. 

Throughout the week, we explore relevant topics about the female body and growing up, and integrate the learning with nature time, crafts, and fun games. A parent/caregiver is invited to join us on Friday afternoon for facilitated quality time with their child.

Groups are small with only 6-12 participants to maximize connection & intimacy. It’s like a 5-day sleepover without actually sleeping over!
