CALM CREATIVE CAMP FOR NEURODIVERGENT + SENSITIVE KIDS
Introducing The Calm Creative Camp for Sensitive and Neurodivergent Kids at Collis Sandes House, Tralee Co.Kerry
As a meditation teacher, artist, and someone who has spent the past seven years working in schools and social care settings with children who have additional needs, I’ve seen the deep impact that a nurturing, emotionally-aware space can have on a child’s confidence, joy, and self-expression.
Over the years, I’ve come to understand something very important: not every child thrives in loud, high-energy environments. Some children need slowness, softness, spaciousness. They need time to warm up, space to regulate, and kind adults who meet them where they are. They need environments that honour their intuition, their sensitivity, their imagination, and their nervous systems.
That’s exactly what inspired me to create The Calm Creative Camp.
🌸 What is The Calm Creative Camp?
The Calm Creative Camp is a week-long summer experience designed especially for sensitive and neurodivergent children aged 5–10. The camp is held in a quiet, creative space, with no more than six children per group, to ensure everyone feels safe, seen, and supported.
It blends creative art-making, gentle meditation, sensory-friendly play, and calming rituals, giving your child a beautiful experience that nourishes their nervous system and celebrates their natural magic.
I’m also deeply honoured to work alongside a qualified Special Needs Assistant, who will be present each day to help ensure that all children receive personalised attention and support.
Whether your child is autistic, ADHD, highly intuitive, emotionally sensitive, or just doesn’t enjoy loud, crowded camps, this week offers them something truly special: a soft place to land.
💫 Who Is This Camp For?
This camp is especially supportive for:
Neurodivergent children
Children with ADHD, autism, or sensory processing differences
Highly intuitive or imaginative children who need more emotional space
Kids who have been overwhelmed or left out in larger group settings
Children who benefit from routine, gentleness, and patient facilitation
Whether or not your child has a diagnosis, if they are someone who blossoms in emotionally attuned environments, this camp was made with them in mind.
🌟 What's Included:
Every day at The Calm Creative Camp is crafted with intention and flow. Here's what your child can expect:
A safe, soft space for only 6 children
Daily creative art projects using beautiful, high-quality materials
Guided meditations and gentle movement to support regulation and focus
Outdoor nature time (weather permitting)
Grounding rituals, storytelling, and gentle visualisations
A take-home Calm Kit (with sensory items, affirmations, and nature treasures)
A personal art journal to record and express their experiences
Plus, I’m absolutely delighted to welcome guest sound therapist Nicola O’Sullivan, who will be joining us on Thursday afternoon for a 45-minute sound therapy workshop. Nicola’s session will gently integrate the creative work from the week and offer the children a deep sense of calm, grounding, and closure.
