SuperCamp bolsters a new class of young people
The Mirrors Programme has hailed its latest camp a success, helping young people to build leadership skills and foster positive connections.
The four-day Coaching for Success SuperCamp, held last week at the Willowbank Resort in partnership with Quantum Learning Global, was designed to help put participants on a path to success.
Tinée Furbert, the Minister of Youth, Social Development and Seniors, said the programme focused on “eight keys of excellence”, including integrity, ownership, flexibility and balance.
“The eight keys encourage behaviours that enhance academic performance, deepen personal confidence, and cultivate meaningful relationships, providing participants with tools for success far beyond the camp,” she said.
A government spokeswoman said the programme also embraced the In-Power-Meant process created by Cheyanne Correia-Foster, which guides participants to “discover their inner strengths, express themselves with confidence and positively influence those around them”.
The spokeswoman added: “Through a blend of accelerated learning techniques and leadership exercises, the camp developed participants’ social and emotional skills, covering everything from effective communication and apology-making to building strong, enduring relationships.”
Kim Jackson, Mirrors programme manager, added: “It’s exhilarating to witness the growth of these young people, who leave camp with renewed confidence and a suite of skills to help them navigate life.
“This camp is a testament to the strength of community support, guidance and belief in our youths’ potential.”
Participants in the programme were enrolled with a dedicated life coach, who will continue to mentor the student for the next eight months.
