“She was proud of herself, which doesn't come naturally. She became more outspoken, willing to express her concerns and successes, and able to share her experiences with me. These are huge leaps and bounds for my child who has autism and anxiety. Thank you Wildplay for bringing out the child in my child!”
Spring Break 2022 Anti-Gravity Camp Feedback
WHY “ANTI-GRAVITY”?
WildPlay’s mission is to Evolve The Human. What does that mean? It means we exist to plant seeds of courage in order to grow humanity’s collective potential for fearless action.
In a literal sense, gravity holds us down. To counter that, “anti-gravity” lifts us up, freeing us to see the infinite possibilities for ourselves and the world around us. WildPlay’s Anti-Gravity Camp exists to create a positive impact outside of the physical limits of our parks, offering programs to help youth manage and overcome fear to achieve their full potential.
