mama and me camp, mornington peninsula
/Hand on heart, this experience is THE best thing this Mamma has EVER done with Master 12.
It’s not often - if at all - that you get to totally immerse yourself in uninterrupted one-on-one time with your child. A time where you can be fully present and not have to worry about anything other than connection. Getting to know your child all over again, but more importantly - your child getting to know you as a person, not just as a nagging mum!
How often are we mums the ones who miss out on the fun because we are too busy organising everyone else, being behind the camera, watching from the sidelines?
The Mama and Me camps hosted by Mindful Mamas, are the perfect opportunity to just press pause on everything else and focus on your child, yourself and your connection. All of your meals are cooked for you - you don’t even have to do the washing up! There’s no washing to fold, places to drive to, nowhere to be - except present.
On this particular camp, at Camp Manyung in Mt Eliza, it was all about action! Mamma and crew put fear aside and partook in Tree Rolling, Archery, Zip Line, Flying fox and even the GIANT SWING! Now this took a LOT of courage from everyone, but the rewards of seeing how proud all the kids were of their mamas - their looks of awe and shouts of encouragement - there’s nothing like it! It’s mums chance to be the cool, fun parent!
There’s time for reflection with ‘circle time’ where mums and sons can speak about their favourite part of the day and what they want to take away from the experience - and it’s so interesting to hear from the kids perspective.
These camps also run with mamas and daughters - and there is even a MAMA’S ONLY camp happening next year!
Again, Mamma cannot recommend this experience enough - if it’s something you have been thinking about, DO IT! You won’t regret it!!
