Kids Summer Yoga Program Essentials
First things first and that is proper hydration! Be sure to back a water bottle for your little one for summer yoga camp so that they can stay properly alert and well nourished.
2. Yoga Mat
Secondly, we recommend bringing along a children’s yoga mat. Kids mats are usually shorter in length and width with less weight, so as to properly align their bodies during yoga and make them a bit more accessible to carry. But not to worry if your child doesn’t have their own, as most studios allow daily mat rentals. We most certainly do during our classes and programs.
3. Colored Pencils, markers, and a pencil or pen
Another essential for kids summer yoga programs are writing and painting materials. After yoga, most summer programs will incorporate creative art projects and activities. Be sure to pack your children’s favorite coloring items.
4. A journal or notebook
Along with writing materials, we recommend bringing a special notebook or journal dedicated just for their yoga camp. Most programs will give children the opportunity to write, draw, and express their thoughts, emotions, and what they’ve learned about yoga throughout the camp.
5. Lunch and snacks
Most programs ask for parents to pack snacks and lunches for their kids, as it’s sometimes difficult to accommodate groups of children with so many different food preferences or dietary requirements. Definitely make sure that your child comes to yoga camp with their favorite snacks and lunch meals to keep them present and fueled throughout the camp.
