TWEEN RETREATS
|
The transitional 'tween' years can be so fun yet so hard to navigate. With so much change and development occurring, a girl's sense of identify can waver and her friendships can be tested. It is often the time forays in to social media begin and suddenly social status online takes on a level they have never known in the 'offline' world.
With the right mindset and a few positivity tools, adolescence can be a glorious stage of life and the SPARK Academy knows how to help tween girls draw out and utilise their inner awesome in order to build, maintain and reflect on healthy relationships with others but also themselves. |

What's in the program? |
Tween retreats are a two-night, stay-over program set in the exquisite grounds of 'Amberley' overlooking the Dandenong Ranges. Staying in gorgeous twin-share rooms (all retreats should involve a little pampering, right?!) girls will enjoy a mix of time in nature, time with others and time to be alone (and they may find themselves lucky enough have some time with 'Bertie' the resident wombat!)
Each retreat has a core theme relevant to girls at this stage of life. Themes include 'Body, Mind and Spirit - how to feel, think and be calm'; 'Connected - building healthy connections both on and offline'; 'Me Be Me - an exploration of personal values and personal strengths'. Activities draw from scientifically-proven connection building concepts such as meditation, team challenges, influence analysis, personal reflection and positive psychology. Girls will also discover their 'DQ' (Digital Intelligence Quotient') and learn to connect with technology rather than have it disconnect them from their world. By providing tween girls with both knowledge of and experience in strategies that help them build healthy connections with other and themselves, both on and offline, they return with a toolkit to help them navigate the transitional tween period. |
Who's the program for? |
Our tween retreats are specifically aimed at girls aged 10-13 years. At this life stage, the brain goes through a developmental surge and is particularly malleable to developing new thought patterns. Certainly an important time to have girls exposed to and experience strategies and skills that will build up their inner confidence.
