“This will be our 3rd consecutive year at Grasshopper’s Empower camp of public speaking. We love it !!!!!! We have recommended to it to so many friends of ours. I love their approach, the staff, the 4-day plan to achieve the camp goals. It is fun because of the camp culture, coach and the content. The staff if very encouraging and work closely to build their confidence by rewarding them for their efforts. My girls love how they are welcomed each year with scarfs and special grasshopper bag on the 1st day. It is truly empowering as it gives an opportunity to students to speak in front of unknown audience and improve their public speaking skills. The kids are looking forward to practicing their speech in front of mirrors every day because Ms.Susan said so !!! This pretty much says it all!” Parent, emPOWER camp

Pass the Potatoes, Please
Age: 6-12 years
Does your student write and speak in one word sentences, acronyms and emojis? Do they spend more time communicating through video games and social media than they do with real people? As the world becomes increasingly impatient, fast paced and impersonal, manners and etiquette are still the KEY to opening doors of opportunity and learning to respect and honor others. Campers will learn how to speak to adults and friends, be a host and a guest, use proper table manners, start and successfully engage in conversation, and properly use verbal and non-verbal communication including written invitations, thank you notes, gestures, eye contact, cues, and texting/phone etiquette. These vital life skills will build your student’s social confidence… ALL through fun and engaging games, challenges and activities.
