Our Beauty Within creates programs for girls 8-12 years old.
Our goal is to teach self-confidence and positive body image during these impressionable years.

Our programs will be offered as workshops and after-school
actives for girls on the Kitsap Peninsula (in Washington State).














































        



Feeling Good from Within                    

Health/Nutrition/Fitness

Goal:  Encourages fitness activities through after
school programs and interactive workshops
about eating and nutrition for girls.

Objectives:

* To create fit, happy, and healthy girls that make 
healthy food choices and who want to stay physically
active because it is enjoyable.

* Examine and discuss the feelings of body image and
self-esteem that exists with eating, or not eating, to fill
emotional emptiness (a huge topic for girls)

* Increase interest in a sport/hobby that will continue 
through high school and adulthood by offering a variety
of fitness activities

* Have participants see and feel first hand the correlation
between fitness activity and eating healthy which lead
to feeling good from within.




Girls Only!                                         

Health/Fitness

Goal:  To provide girls the opportunity to find a
physical activity that they love by offering a girl only
after-school "workout club." 

Our after school program will offer a variety of 
fitness classes in dance, movement and outside athletics
(including yoga, indoor rock climbing, sports, hip hop dance).
                         
Our program will be held in a non-competitive, safe,
 fun and positive environment where friendship and
sisterhood is encouraged.

Nutrition and body image will also be addressed.


Your Power Within!                               

Self-Image/Psychosocial

Goal:  Provide girls with both a tangible and
internal tool kit to successfully confront life's
challenges, while focusing on specialty topics.

Specialty topics:

* popular media images of "beauty" vs. Real Beauty
* bullying (including cyber-bulling)
* friendships
* Mother/Daughter bond
* puberty & body changes
* middle school
* cultural diversity


Inner Beauty Camp                          

Self-Image/Health & Wellness

Goal:  Participants are nourished in a supportive
retreat at overnight or day long camps.


Inner Beauty Camp will be an extended version of
Our Beauty Within's core programs focusing on peer
relationships, team building, and group experiences.
Some camps may include Mother/Daughter, and
Father/Daughter activities as well.


Programs in Development             

Self-Image/Health & Wellness

Goal:  Participants are nourished in a supportive
retreat at overnight or day long camps.

We have more programs waiting in the wings,
but we are always open to input and feedback.

their families, please contact us!
