June 11, 2024 - Confident Kids Camp began twelve years ago in Michigan, driven by a passion for helping children with selective mutism. Inspired by the remarkable progress made in just five days, where kids moved toward more confident speech through peer-based practice and parental support, Aimee Kotrba saw the potential for greater impact. The camp’s unique intensive group model, combined with the dedicated efforts of trained counselors, has consistently yielded tremendous results.
Aimee, the owner of Thriving Minds Behavioral Therapy and creator of the camp, shares her enthusiasm: “Confident Kids Camp has been an amazing opportunity to observe and help kids move toward more confident speech. Since it is based on an intensive group model, kids and teens benefit from using peers to practice “brave talking” with the support of trained counselors, and parents learn how to be effective advocates and coaches for their child’s intervention. As a professional, this is one of the most gratifying (and exhausting!) weeks of my year. It allows me to be an active participant in the incredible improvements that these kids make in five short days.”
The Confident Kids Camp offers a unique, immersive experience that empowers children with selective mutism to develop their communication skills in a supportive and structured environment. A common therapy technique in the practice, "brave talking," helps children and teens step outside of their comfort zone in a controlled environment. The confidence gained during this camp translates to everyday life and organic interactions.
Parents also play a vital role in the camp's success. They receive training and guidance on how to be effective advocates and coaches for their children, ensuring that the progress made during the camp extends into the school year and beyond.
Given the overwhelming success and positive impact of the Michigan camp, Thriving Minds Behavioral Health is thrilled to offer this life-changing program in additional locations. The expansion to the Washington DC area and Toronto, Canada, allows more families to benefit from the proven interventions and strategies that have helped countless children move toward more confident speech.
