Summer is upon us and it’s the time that many parents think about activities for their little ones. This summer is promising to be fun with a number of summer camps like the American Sports Academy Camp and of course Casa de Campo is going to be alive with activity,but if you’re looking for an interesting alternative, Kyra Montagu at Ki-Ra Holistic Center has prepared very special Summer Camp program helping kids to get in touch with natural rhythms and embrace holistic living!
Ki- Ra is a unique Holistic Center located right outside of Casa de Campo where one can retreat to find peace, one’s self, and get in touch with nature. At Ki-Ra, a genuinely holistic lifestyle is practiced. Everyone knows Kyra Montagu as a respectable and caring naturopathic doctor, yogini and holistic health expert in Casa. She was the previous Director of the Casa de Campo Spa, and now dedicates herself full time to cool projects like spiritual retreats with shaman and meditation workshops, all of which are located at her home just on the other side of the river.
From July 4th to July 10th, Ki-Ra will offer a camp for the kids, ages 5 to 12 years old, to connect with nature and themselves, and have a lot fun in the process! Kids can stay overnight and will enjoy bonfires on the beach, swimming, biking, and more outdoor activities. A number of physical and emotional health benefits will impact kids and teach a healthy-living lifestyle. Through tending the garden, cooking, and exploring the outdoors, young ones will be able to reconnect with mother earth and get back to a natural rhythm. Also, a fully organic diet with only the freshest local supplies is provided from Ki-Ra’s own garden.
Yoga and meditation is as beneficial for kids as it is for adults, may be even more so since it teaches concentration and flexibility at a young age. In Ki-Ra Summer Camp, your kids will develop their awareness, learn how to use their bodies in a productive way, managing stress through breathing, meditation and movement. All of which truly benefits child development and good lifelong practices; not to mention, a week outdoors means a lot of FUN!
Ki-Ra is a place where you can come and have the experience of holistic living taking as much or as little as you want. Holistic living literally means a way of life that integrates all parts of connecting with nature and oneself; finding your perfect balance of health, fun, relationships with family, friends and the environment, living in nature in a comfortable way and fully enjoying all aspects of your life. The energy here is really peaceful so you can definitely escape if you want to or come and have some healing time with treatments and healthy food, but we are keen to emphasize that it’s meant to be a fun experience so that it remains something that you actually continue to do and enjoy after you leave.
