Part of the problem with trying to protect young people from exploitation and grooming by extremist elements of the manosphere is that our understanding of exploitation and how to tackle it is still hopelessly out of touch. Dr. Firmin explained that the very hallmarks of adolescence that most attract young men to these online communities are also the ones least understood by traditional support mechanisms. During adolescence, young people prioritize belonging, self-autonomy, and independence. This, she said, is a period in which young people are struggling with intense emotions: they are “more inclined to take risks” and are particularly unlikely to think about “long-term consequences.” As such, traditional support services are not well suited to this period, because they tend to be “targeted at individuals who don’t like to take risks and will think about the long-term consequences of their behavior and will be generally emotionally stable.” While support structures struggle against these typical adolescent behaviors, Dr. Firmin explained, those who exploit young people “will tend to work with” them, offering children

a sense of risk or going against the grain, focus on short-term gains, what it means in the here and now, and push aside the potential negative long-term consequences… They will provide means by which you can be very emotionally driven and passionate…and also validate those emotions as authentic when other adults are saying, “Don’t get so worked up.”

All this resonates powerfully with the tactics of the manosphere. Young people are offered a highly emotive narrative and a sense of deep belonging and community. They are repeatedly encouraged, in incel forums, for example, to take violent action that would position them as countercultural disrupters without thinking too much about the consequences. “It’s very easy to sell those ideas,” Dr. Firmin added, in a community that boasts about “going against the norm.” In the case of the manosphere, she said, that manifests as “pushing against this idea of new masculinity…or men’s increased role in parenting… This narrative would push against all of that, push against #MeToo, so it’s very easy then to sell it as a risk and sell it into this idea of wanting a sense of self, a sense of personal identity.” In some respects, she said, given the current climate, the attractiveness of the manosphere to young men is “not very surprising at all.”

Men Who Hate Women, 2020, Laura Bates.

... Ohhhhh. Well, Bates is talking about young men getting sucked into the manosphere, but TERF tactics make a whole lot more sense now, don't they? There's all this uncertainty in our collective lives, and a simple but risky narrative that just requires brave, passionate folks to stand up for what they believe in to fix everything...

Ah.

For that matter, the same patterns totally resonated with me in my teens and twenties; I just had causes that I still feel good about to stand up for, like queer solidarity and ace community raising and allyship as an active choice.

I'm carrying some grief about that this morning—I have a lot of scars that came from being brave and open and riskily vulnerable and trusting my own resilience and hard work to catch me, and it's been a hard, hard ten years. But I also find myself thinking in the same breath: oh. That's the same romantic tendency that's kicking off the wistfulness about labor uprisings I was so critical of last night, and that association builds commitment to changing the critically unfair economic systems of inequality we live with. That's the same energy that makes so many teenagers so emphatic about climate change. That's the thing that makes my grad students stamp feet and snap "well, it shouldn't be like that then!" while I'm trying to do more with less to support them and keep them safe. And sometimes that makes me adjust my course, often for the better.

Stuff like this really renews my commitment to listening to folks who are significantly different in age to me. Sometimes I think they are missing big things in their politics, but sometimes I think that the uncompromising optimism of what could be is a powerful, heady current.

I've only been an adult for about a decade, is the thing, and I've already watched the activism of the generation of millennial activists I grew up alongside make real, profound changes in the status quo, often but not always informed by the support and lessons of generations that have broken the trails before ourselves. I think there can be a certain complacency about that, an idea that younger folks are going to either save us unassisted (lol no) or pick up largely arbitrary battles and waste the momentum of their energy and commitment. I don't think that complacency is a good idea, but it exists. It's worth opposing.

Just like any social construct, generations are both imaginary and profoundly real at the same time, both a wave and a particle at once. It's worth thinking about what people at different ages and life stages need, and it's always worth thinking about how to build coalitions to best channel and support one another.

Simstopia Legacy Challenge

🌟 Introducing the Simstopia Legacy Challenge! 🌟

Embark on a remarkable journey through generations in The Sims 4. In this legacy, you'll craft a family saga filled with triumphs, trials, and the pursuit of dreams in just 5 generations.

From the humble beginnings of a wallflower's aspirations to the dazzling heights of fame, experience the intricate tapestry of lives interwoven by destiny. Generations will rise and fall, each bearing the mark of the stars and their unique aspirations.

You'll navigate through triumphs and tribulations, building a legacy that echoes through time. Will you nurture relationships, celebrate fame, or find solace in a quieter life? The choices you make will shape the legacy that unfolds.

Starting Out:

Create a new household with a female sim and male sweetheart for Generation 1 (You may begin the challenge as teens if you prefer!)

Place them on a 20x20 lot or smaller in the Copperdale neighborhood

Set their starting funds to $3000

Play at whatever lifespan you prefer for your gameplay

Only have to finish or max a requirement if specifically stated

Only have to move or stay put, if explicitly stated

Get Famous, High School Years, Parenthood, and Spa Day are required for the challenge

Tag #SIMSTOPIALEGACY so we can enjoy your gameplay!

**Generation 1** The Resilient Vintner

In the shadows of high school hallways, you were a wallflower with dreams as vibrant as the grapes that would one day fill your winery. The quiet corridors couldn't contain your aspirations, nor could they mask the spark within. A nice boy, a rarity in your world of introverted thoughts, shattered your timid facade, and together you danced through the corridors of your dreams.

Life spun its web, and as young adults, a surprise awaited in the form of impending parenthood. Two heartbeats echoed in your third trimester, a symphony of life that harmonized with your fears and hopes. But then, like a cruel twist of fate, the same boy who had chipped away your shyness disappeared, leaving you heartbroken and resolute.

Determination carved its path through your life like vines in a well-tended garden. You donned the role of both gardener and parent, nurturing both flora and fledgling hearts. Your hands learned the craft of winemaking, turning grapes into bottled poetry. With few friends, you showered your twins with all the love life could muster, becoming both their guardian and guiding star.

Nectar Maker Aspiration

Socially Awkward Trait

Perfectionist Trait

Good trait

Fall in love with high school sweetheart

Master gardening, nectar making, cooking & comedy

Accidentally fall pregnant with twins before adulthood (may cheat to achieve)

HS sweetheart dumps you and never meets your kids

Master gardening career

Never marry until your kids move out

Never have more children

**Generation 2**The Bartender's Sanctuary

In the shadow of a single mother's devotion, you and your twin were raised. But as your sibling basked in maternal admiration, you found solace in the independence born from abandonment. Academia was a breeze you barely entertained, for you knew you held an unspoken ticket to leniency. Graduation opened a door into the world of cocktails, a bartender's stage where you mixed spirits and stories, all while never leaving the refuge of your childhood haven.

Mixology became your symphony, crafting concoctions that spoke volumes in each glass. Charisma oiled the gears of social interaction, while video gaming and comedy painted your private world with laughter. Romantic dalliances played like fleeting melodies, each a brief verse before the chorus of commitment. And as the years unfolded, you embraced marriage and parenthood, your own family story beginning within the walls that sheltered your formative years.

Mixology Aspiration

Non-Committal Trait

Lazy Trait

Master mixology, charisma, video gaming & comedy

Don’t move out of your childhood home until marriage

Date at least 4 sims before marrying in adulthood

**Generation 3** The Musical Prodigy

The pulse of music coursed through your veins, setting your heart ablaze. From childhood, you were drawn to the siren call of melodies, a passion that flourished into an early graduation and an unswerving march into the arms of a musician's destiny. As an independent composer, the spotlight danced upon your creations, but it was a hit song that thrust you fully into its radiant embrace. An agent's proposition introduced you to a world of artificial romance, but destiny had other plans.

In a whirlwind of notes and heartbeats, careers and affections intertwined. Love bloomed like a wildflower in Del Sol Valley's fast lane, and soon your family mirrored the crescendo of your professional success. Your children would someday hear your music and know the rhythm of love that had brought them into the world.

**Generation 4** The Spoiled Celebrity

Fame wrapped its opulent arms around you from birth, a glittering cocoon that promised adoration at every turn. Spoils of privilege were your birthright, a captivating narrative spun from the union of famous souls. The camera's eye adored you, and the silver screen beckoned, a realm where you aimed to eclipse the legendary Judith Ward herself.

With the world as your stage, you carved your own narrative, masterfully delivering lines that echoed across generations. But amid the applause, the applause that never seemed to wane, love remained an elusive muse. The script of your life took an unexpected twist—an autonomous child conceived in a laboratory of scientific wonder. Yet, parenting was a role you played only in name, leaving the care of your creation to others while you reveled in the indulgences fame offered.

Actor or World Famous Celebrity Aspiration

Self Absorbed Trait

Hire a butler and keep a butler until you die

Throw many parties

**Generation 5** The Pursuit of Normalcy

A legacy of luminance cast long shadows, the weight of expectations heavy upon your shoulders. The camaraderie of fame beckoned, but your heart yearned for anonymity. Escaping the glare of Del Sol Valley's spotlight, you took flight to a new life, shedding the name that was once synonymous with stardom. In a tranquil town, you forged a life as a teacher, and love blossomed in the form of a local soul.

The bonds you nurtured were ones unshackled by fame's chains, each affectionate gesture a testament to your commitment to create a family in the purity of love, devoid of the opulence that once enshrouded you. Children filled your days with laughter, their lives woven into the tapestry of your own. The wounds of a past lived beneath the glare of the camera began to heal, and as the years flowed like a gentle stream, you found solace in the embrace of a life truly lived.

Big Happy Family Aspiration (Do NOT have to finish)

Family Oriented Trait

Bookworm Trait

Don't Touch My Hair... I MEANT IT!!!

Entry Date: 1/18/2024 11:03 pm

Today's topic is 'Don't Touch My Hair,' and I mean it quite literally. I am tired.

Tired.

I'm so tired of this shit, and I want to cry and scream and more.

My hair is something I've struggled with since I was a kid. It's a very sore spot. When asked what their ideal hair would be growing up, most girls would point out things such as a difference in texture, thicker hair, or even extra length. For me, it sucked because I didn't have any of the desired traits.

My hair was a lot different than my siblings. Their hair was much fuller than mine. My hair is low density, aka it's hella thin... Man, is it really thin. Reflecting on what I know about my hair now, my hair also has low porosity, while my siblings seemed to have medium porosity.

My mother struggled to plant the proper seeds to make my hair grow and be healthy. She didn't know how to take care of hair like mine. With my siblings having thicker and much more resilient hair, it was no reason why their hair seemed to flourish in different settings; meanwhile, mine would break off at the most minor inconvenience.

For the majority of my life, I grew up with short hair and even went through the phase in middle school of lying about my length so that I wouldn't be ridiculed. I would go to extreme lengths to manipulate my hair in a particular way to feel more feminine and aligned with the beauty standards. None of that would be able to erase the many years of humiliation I would feel from my peers or even my external family (grandma, aunties, etc.). It was like a running joke...

I felt so ugly for many years, but I still held the idea that my beauty was tied to how my hair looked. Even now, in my early 20s approaching my mid-20s, I still struggle with this. I struggle with prioritizing my physical appearance, though I know the beauty within is what counts the most. And trust, I do focus on building my internal world and shifting the harmful internal dialogue, but it's just so hard when the world is built on all superficial matters.

I've won over certain battles that I faced regarding the beauty standard. For example, I have big boobs. Big boobs, by nature, sag due to gravity, skin elasticity, genetics, and so many more factors. I thought something was wrong with me during my teen years. I mean, why the hell was my boobs frowning if I didn't even birth any children?? But the older I got, the less I started to care. Shit neither does my partner, so I just learned to embrace this difference within myself. But when it comes to my hair... it's the battle I'm struggling to win over the most.

I shaved my hair in the summer of 2022. It is now January 2024, and I'm still baldheaded.

Granted, the past year, for me, has been highly stressful. I suffered hair loss due to stress from work, my weight was fluctuating, and my health over was in the gutter. Due to this, I started balding in random spots. However, it's been MONTHS since I stopped balding, and my hair is not even 5 inches...

It makes me feel so ugly.

So masculine.

I mean, I've been with my boyfriend for 2 years, and since we've dated, I've been taking care of his hair. His hair is now mid-back length, drastically different from his mini afro. And yet, here I am, his girl, with shorter hair. It just makes me feel so undesirable. I feel the need to wear a full face of makeup every time my hair is out. That is just utter bullshit!

I'M JUST SO FUCKING TIRED!!

And I'm so hurt.

This never-ending battle with my feminity tied to something as trivial as my hair is draining me. If anybody asked me if I was over all of my hair struggles that summer of 2022 before I shaved it, I would've said yes!! But I'm clearly not and don't know what to do.

Outside of being overpriced for simple services, these new-age stylists LOVE adding a pile of product, mostly thick gel, to our hair and straightening it for basic styles... How are these styles being labeled protective??? My hair just simply won't thrive in those conditions.

And what sucks is I love styles such as mini braids or twists, but hair is such a low density, I end up looking like Cynthia from rug rats LMFAOO. Just 3 goddamn braids on my hair.

I want to know how do I feel pretty with my hair in its current state. That's the question no one knows how to answer, and I don't expect them to. The answer should come from me and only me, but this battle just feels so lonely...

Long Character Bio for Ryn.

Name: Councillor Ryn Stormson Mercuralis

Pronouns: He/Him

Species: Elf (Spark)

Age: 233 (about 40)

Special skills: genius tactician, sailor, just google Air Force Pararescue and see what they can do.

Appearance notes: 5’7 with a strong athletic build. He is ethnically ambiguous as most commonborn elves are, with wavy dark brown hair and dark gray eyes. Ryn has calloused hands and a tattoo of northern hemisphere constellations over his shoulders. He wears a noble vambrace with exactly two red dots. He has somewhat rectangular pointed ears.

I think this is going to be the longest bio. I rotate this guy around in my brain constantly. He’s just… in the wrong setting. He’s doing great, but he fundamentally should not be here.

Ryn Stormborn Mercuralis is the second most politically powerful person in the Elf World. He’s in the bottom 5% in terms of magical power though. Ryn has one biological son (Fen) but is also a father to Ishtar’s other kids. The coup would not have been successful without him. Thanks to his upbringing, Ryn views humans as well, human. He knows what a war crime is and wants to commit as few as possible. That being said, he wholeheartedly believes that global conquest is the best path forward. This will require war crimes.

Ryn was born about as far from the high nobility as possible. He is a spark from a harbor town parallel to the Gulf Coast. His people are Voyagers. What they lack in magical ability, (you will rarely find a Voyager that isn’t a spark or less) they make up for with grit. Ryn’s last name “Stormson” is actually a title given to the boldest and most skilled Voyagers. It means that Ryn can fly planes like a fighter pilot, sail solo across an ocean, and has basically every skill admired by the Voyagers. He earned this title by the equivalent of his late teens.

Around this time, the human world was going through the Industrial Revolution. Most elves believed that humans would discover radiation soon, and make it to space. Some, especially the nobility, felt threatened by this. Elves, for comparison, hadn’t sent anything to orbit in seven thousand years. Voyagers had been the best astronauts back then, but that was dozens of generations ago. All Voyagers want to go back to space, but it’s viewed as an impossible dream. But Ryn was a Stormson in his 60s. He’d already done the impossible, so why not do it again?

Ryn left home to try and join the nobility when he was 20 in human years. He not only survived the YA novel-esque noble school known as the Conservatory but excelled. He allied with Ishtar Mercuralis to win the final wargame and they earned global fame. Ryn became a rising star of the nobility, but was all but disowned by his people. Voyagers do not kill other kids. Guess what you do at the Conservatory. In the following decades, Ryn has used his power to slowly drag elf society back into a space age. They haven’t built any rockets yet, but they’re getting damn close, and public opinion is finally on his side.

Ryn is a peerless tactical genius and near-perfect shot, but without much magic, he is helpless in noble combat. His relationship with his birth culture is also complicated. He kept his title “stormson” even after joining Genus Mercuralis, and has been trying to raise all three of his children with Voyager values in mind. It’s really difficult though. The voyagers believe in curiosity, equity, and teamwork. The nobles run their entire society on eugenics. It’s Not Great.

If Ishtar is strength, then Ryn is resilience. He might not be able to crack a continental plate like she can, but the ocean and wind eventually wear everything down. Or at least Ryn likes to think of himself as the storm. He’s not. Ryn is a sailor at sea. He’s been dealing with powers he can’t match for centuries now. He can’t get out, he can’t take any of his choices back… and he doesn’t want to. Ryn has always done the impossible and he sees no reason why his luck should run out now. Ryn has forgotten how close he is to drowning.

Ryn watches a lot of softer sci-fi, both human stuff and elven media from the elf space age nearly ten thousand years ago. He is very emotionally invested in NASA. The song I associate with him is Notos by the Oh Hellos.

HISTORY

Niko was born in Miami, Fl in 1997. His parents passed away when he was 6 years old in a car accident.

This left Niko to be placed into the system, bouncing all over from foster home to foster home. Some were okay but others were absolute terror.

At the age of 12, Niko was moved to Tampa, Fl, still bouncing from foster to foster but fortunately for him he met Theodore Beckett at this time and he became a permanent fixture in his life. One of the few people to really know the real Nikolai.

At 14, Niko ended up in the hospital after a severe beating from his alcoholic foster dad. A scar remains running down his left brow and eye from that day, a reminder of the hell he’s endured through his childhood.

His active celebrity career began with the making of youtube videos, mainly of him doing walk throughs of games and eventually joining twitch and streaming alongside Teddy.

At the age of 19, he landed his first role in one episode of Girl Meets World.

His acting career really shot off when he joined the cast of Teen Wolf as Alec and has been growing ever since.

idk how to explain but i swear there is nothing “youthful” and thus inherently attractive abt being a girl who is suffering mental illness.

i feel like being 19, you’re hit with the realization you are finally adult and are either forced to manage your internal battles w mental illness and what you can control in terms of how you treat yourself and others vs creating spaces where you can harm yourself and others and perpetuate the idea that cassie feeling so alone and isolated in her disorder was something attractive.

i look at myself from ages 12-17 and i do not miss her for her sickness. i miss her because i am now trying to build a better life for her, who is now myself. i do not miss her for the fact that she was struggling silently with zero resources to assist her mental issues attractive or desireable. i find it sad that i was too young to understand i was deserving of help and that if you have to ask yourself if something is bad enough, it usually is.

you can put on a confident online façade, but it is very obvious when ur a pro ed/sh account hidden under a pretty aesthetic that occasionally cross tags, you are hurting. no one thinks you’re effy stonem and cool and calm and collected. people think you need help but have little resources, but that it is no excuse to encourage any sort of toxicity toward others esp to online communities that have nothing to do w that.

i bring up age bc usually when it comes to characters glamorized for dealing with mental illness manifesting itself in maladaptive behaviors, it’s often young women, usually white and between their late teens to early 20s being glamorized rather than older people or poc.

speaking as a black girl, we often do not get the luxury of glamorizing our illnesses as in older black generations, their mental health was largely ignored in favor of resiliency during civil rights and many of them internalized that and passed that emotional suppression onto their children.

i felt that firsthand which is why it took so long for my family to even grapple with the fact i struggled mentally. it just wasn’t talked about unless in “extreme” circumstances where it could no longer be ignored.

tldr: literally nothing cute or romantic abt “being” cassie howard and daisy randone but devoid of the personalities they had. these were very sensitive, traumatized girls and cassie was able to rise above and recover while daisy sadly did not have a strong enough support system.

HISTORY

Mackenzie had always felt protective and maternal, especially as they grew up amongst the Crescents during the Crescent curse, their parents forced to live their days as wolves with one night every month, the full moon, to be with their children in human form. Unfortunately in Mackenzie's teen years, the strain of feeling like she held the weight of the world on her shoulders as she tried to navigate who she was while also ensuring that her siblings were safe and cared for, her growing aggression and temper tended to get the better of her and always somehow found herself in fights with the other untriggered teens. Around this time, however, Mackenzie found herself falling in love. It was a whirlwind kind of relationship, one that made Mackenzie feel more alive than ever, more carefree and making riskier choices than she used to. Thus resulting in her getting pregnant. The first year with her son was amazing. The new parents doting over the little boy until they found out that she had fallen pregnant once more, this time a set of twins. Her partner became distant and was in and out of her and their kids lives. The anger that boiled within her as the realization that she was now a single mother to 3 children under the age of 3 while still being somewhat of a child herself had increased the level of stress that she had already been feeling. It didn't take long for someone to push her buttons to far before she ended up in another fight this time her aggression far too much for her to control thus resulting in Mackenzie's triggering of her gene at the age of 21, leaving her children to be cared for by her younger sister, Sierra. It would be 2 years before Hayley Marshall would come along and have the curse broken, allowing Tara to reunite with her now 3 and 4 year old children. Fast forward to now and Tara had quickly gotten her life together, her main focus on her children and providing for them, put herself through university online while working a full-time job from home and caring for her children, attending the police academy and working her way up in rank to where she is today with the help of her pack.

How teenagers can protect their mental health during COVID 19

Lockdowns are trying times for children and teenagers. They may feel overwhelmed, and experiencing coronavirus stress about falling sick. They may also feel worried about older members of their families. In a lockdown, many of the common activities have come to a halt; And teenagers who are used to spending time outside homes can find it very difficult to be caged inside their house. The lockdown has impacted the lives of young adults. There is a surge in online activity and digital engagement- from social media to online gaming and entertainment. Young adults seem to be inseparable from their gadgets. Here are a few ways that teenagers can adopt to protect their mental and emotional health during COVID

Try to stick to a schedule

Making and maintaining a schedule for home is particularly challenging. It needs some self-discipline, that a lot of us tend to keep losing. Indulgence is a human tendency, especially during the teen years. But chalk out a routine for yourself and try to follow it to avoid falling into quarantine depression.

Incorporate reading in your schedule

With a lot of screen time, reading, may give you an alternative form of entertainment and will keep you engaged. What was the last comic book you read? Or maybe it’s time to discover Harry Potter with words.

Not just binging, but also creating

If you’re spending a lot of time online and watching other people’s creations, allow yourself to be inspired. Think of some content you could create and share too!

Spreading awareness, Helping, Reducing Stigma

You can help the cause by educating people about COVID 19, by explaining preventive measures to those who may not know. Some people have been found to hide their travel history or symptoms. This could be due to the stigma and fear around the illness and quarantine. Many people are scared about what could happen once you test positive. You could spread some awareness to bring down stigma and fear. Here are some important tips that you can share with others to help them build resilience within themselves. You can also use Wysa’s free tools to manage any quarantine anxiety or stress that you may be experiencing.

Taking breaks from the news

While keeping ourselves up to date on information, we must take some time off the news and following the statistics of the world or our cities. Unwinding is an important part of de-stressing. trust news only from trustworthy channels.

Staying connected with friends and family

Keep in touch with friends who are far. If you’re home with your family, you may also spend some time with them, by eating meals together, cooking together or exercising together. Here are some ways you can be more connected

Have a baking online party with your friends. Share new recipes with each other, and eat together. All online!

If somebody has a skill they are good at, you can create a small group for learning new skills. For example, embroidery, dancing, playing the guitar and many other activities.

Reconnect with old friends who you may not be in touch with presently. Ask them how they’re doing.

Write and Share: You can take some time to write reflections, short stories, ideas and share them among friends!

Exercise, Sleep, and a Healthy Diet

This is important to boost your immune system. Also important for your mental health.

Seek Support

Reach out to parents, mentors if need be you can also reach out to professionals who are providing mental health care in these challenging and testing times.

We at Wysa have released free tool packs for all to help you cope with the stress of isolation and to manage current health anxiety. You can download the app here. If you find it difficult to talk in person, you can always talk to Wysa, an AI penguin written by therapists that you can talk to anonymously about your mood and struggles.

The Magic of Overnight Camps: Building Lifelong Memories and

Skills

Introduction

Overnight camps, also known as sleepaway camps, provide a unique and immersive experience for children and teenagers. Away from the daily routines and distractions of home, campers engage in a variety of activities that promote personal growth, foster new friendships, and build valuable life skills. This article delves into the transformative impact of overnight camps and why they remain a cherished tradition for many families.

The Benefits of Overnight Camps

Independence and Responsibility

Being away from home for an extended period teaches campers to manage their daily routines, keep track of their belongings, and make decisions independently. This fosters a sense of responsibility and self-reliance that is hard to replicate in other settings.

Social Skills and Friendship

Campers live and interact closely with peers, learning essential social skills such as cooperation, communication, and conflict resolution. The shared experiences often lead to deep, lasting friendships that extend beyond the camp.

Exposure to New Activities

Overnight camps offer a wide range of activities, from sports and arts to nature exploration and adventure challenges. This exposure helps campers discover new interests and talents, boosting their confidence and broadening their horizons.

Connection with Nature

Many overnight camps are situated in beautiful natural settings, providing a refreshing break from urban environments. Time spent in nature has been shown to reduce stress, enhance mood, and improve overall well-being.

Character Development

The camp environment encourages campers to take on leadership roles, face challenges, and develop resilience. Activities like team-building exercises and outdoor adventures teach perseverance, empathy, and problem-solving skills.

Popular Activities at Overnight Camps

Adventure and Outdoor Skills

Hiking, canoeing, rock climbing, and wilderness survival skills are staples at many camps, offering both excitement and practical knowledge.

Sports and Fitness

From soccer and basketball to swimming and archery, sports activities keep campers active and teach teamwork and discipline.

Creative Arts

Camps often have programs in music, theater, painting, and crafts, allowing campers to express themselves creatively and explore their artistic side.

STEM Programs

Increasingly, camps are incorporating science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) activities, providing a fun and engaging way to learn new concepts and skills.

The Role of Camp Counselors

Camp counselors play a pivotal role in the camp experience. They are not only supervisors but also mentors and role models. Trained to handle various situations, counselors ensure the safety and well-being of campers while fostering a positive and inclusive environment. Their guidance helps campers navigate the challenges of camp life and make the most of their experience.

Conclusion

Overnight camps are more than just a summer activity; they are a rite of passage that offers invaluable life lessons and cherished memories. By stepping out of their comfort zones, campers grow in independence, form meaningful connections, and discover new passions.

Milagro Center’s Mentorship Program

Established in 1997, Milagro Center is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit with a mission to promote the academic and social success of children in underserved areas. It does this through cultural arts programs, academic guidance, and mentoring. Its mentorship program is called Mentoring Miracles.

Through Mentoring Miracles, Milagro Center matches caring adults one-on-one with children or teens to show them that there is an adult who cares about them. The program supports nurturing and supportive intergenerational relationships, building children’s and teens' self-esteem and resilience. The mentors meet with their mentees once every week for a full year. All visits occur at the Milagro Center site in Delray Beach, Florida, and are supervised by the nonprofit’s staff.

Research shows that mentorship can have dramatically positive results on the lives of children. For instance, children who have mentors are 52 percent less likely to skip school, 55 percent more likely to enroll in college, and 81 percent more likely to play sports or join extracurricular activities. They are also twice as likely to hold leadership positions and 46 percent less likely to do illegal drugs.

People interested in becoming mentors with Milagro Center can send an email to [email protected]. They should be 18 years old and above and available to mentor for at least one year.
