MOVE WITH PRIDE FOR TEENS: A Queer Teen Summer Camp
During This one week camp we will provide a holistic and body-positive introduction to the world of strength training and movement. Together we will develop the skills and mindsets to cultivate satisfaction, competency and empowerment within the gym. In addition to learning foundational lifting skills, each day your teen will have the opportunity to safely explore a range of movements including; calisthetics, natural movement, kettlebells and barbell lifts, learn to take care of and maintain their bodies, consider and discuss body positivity, nutrition and diet culture, and build community with other teens in Tacoma. Our classes are inclusive spaces that welcome any and all skill levels, interests and motivations.Together we will eliminate binaried words such as “healthy” and “unhealthy” and approach fitness with a positive and exploratory mindset. Our goal is to foster an exciting space for teens to develop an understanding of their bodies, their physical capabilities and be empowered in the gym and daily life.
