Wellness

Camp’s natural setting provides the perfect backdrop for wellness. We focus on all aspects of a healthy life - physical health, social health, and mental/emotional health (mind health). If we had to sum up MTCs approach to wellness in one word, it would be connection. 

Camp is device-free, which not only allows campers the chance to re-calibrate their relationship with technology, but also frees up time and attention to engage in healthy activities. Time in nature. Exercise. Sleep. Face to face peer interaction, with peers who are not distracted by technology. Play/having fun. Boredom/daydreaming. All of these can be thought of as connections (to self, to others, to nature). 

We role model, coach, and encourage campers to work on social skills while at camp. We believe that isolation/lonliness is one of the biggest threats to individual and social health, and that isolation can be most effectively combatted by making and keeping connections with others.  Connection skills are learned skills, refined through repitition, role-modeling, and support. 

Our yoga classes are taught by and overseen by one of our most senior staff, Arvind Zanje. Arvind is a Master trained instructor from India. 

With focus on movement, classes are designed to encourage even novice yoga enthusiasts to give it try. Each yoga class ends with group meditation.

Fitness at camp can take the form of nature walks, hikes, running classes, weight training, Zumba dance fitness, Crossfit-style workouts, bootcamps, and general aerobic group classes. 

We offer classes that are designed for beginners, and classes that are meant to challenge higher level fitness routines. There’s something for everyone!
