Where Creativity, Confidence
& Friendship Bloom

boutique summer experience for tween Girls 9-12

Bloom Your Own Way Summer Experience

Imagine a week where your girl spends her days making flower crowns, painting in the art studio, creating keepsake journals, feeding horses, picking flowers from the field, laughing with new friends, and enjoying meaningful experiences designed to help her grow in confidence and creativity.

At Bloom Your Own Way Summer Experience, girls ages 9-12 will unplug from screens and step into a beautiful boutique week filled with flowers, art, professional photography sessions, nature-inspired projects, journaling, friendship, movement, creativity, and confidence-building activities on the flower farm.

This is a place where tween girls are celebrated exactly as they are. A place where girls are reminded that they do not need to change who they are, compare themselves to others, or fit into someone else’s mold to be worthy, lovable, confident, creative, and enough. Through meaningful conversations, creativity, friendship, and joyful experiences, girls are encouraged to embrace what makes them unique, support and build one another up and bloom in their own beautiful way.

From bouquet arranging and acrylic painting to personalized coloring pages created from their portraits, collaborative art, planting flowers, quiet creative time, and meaningful connection, every part of the experience is intentionally designed to help girls feel encouraged, inspired, connected, and confident.

Bloom Your Own Way offers two unique summer experience weeks, each featuring a different mix of creative projects, flower farm activities, photography, journaling, friendship-building, and confidence-focused experiences. Girls are welcome to attend one or both weeks for even more creativity, connection, and summer memories.

I went to Idaho several times to get Certified to lead these AMAZING workshops and retreats because this is so important to me. I then went on to also become Certified with Fearlessly Girl to hold empowerment workshops for girls 9-12 specifically.

The lack of self-confidence I had until my 40's dictated all my decisions and my relationships.
I don't want another young girl to go through that. It is the whole reason I started a worldwide kindness movement also - to show people their worth and value. For the event itself, there will be qualified, professional speakers and helpers. 

Join us in planting the seeds of self-love, confidence, and empowerment.

We would love to have more sponsors to create the most magical day for the girls. If you know of a business or family that wants to sponsor, if you would like to help in any way or have any questions, please contact me.

Helping Girls See Their Worth is SOOO Important to Me

Darlene and I are passionate about this work. We have all types of workshops to teach life skills that we are not really taught growing up and then that thing called life...well, it stumps us sometimes, doesn't it?
