Where Kids & Teens Have Fun, Making Friends and Facing Fears Together
Courageous Kids Summer Program
Summer 2027: Dates TBD
Our Courageous Kids Summer Program helps youth build confidence, face fears, and strengthen real-life coping skills using evidence-based CBT strategies.
Designed for ages 7–17, and based at our Lexington, MA office, This weeklong summer program blends structured anxiety treatment with fun, high-energy group activities.
Participants engage in:
Bravery challenges and exposure-based activities
Social connection and team-based games
Emotion regulation and stress-management skills
Confidence-building experiences outside their comfort zone
Each session is capped at 20 participants to ensure meaningful connection and participation.
While the program is fun and engaging, it is also clinically grounded. We incorporate education on anxiety, emotional regulation, mindfulness, healthy thinking patterns, and values-based action.
