At Pali, we offer this as a part of our Lotions and Potions class where your child will also learn how to make natural skincare products and learn about being more mindful.  Your children will have a zen-like experience during their stay while learning about various essential oils and ways they can make their favorite candles by using things you already have around the home as well as a variety of waxes that you can get from your local craft store.

Not only will they have a fun time learning, but they will also get a hands-on approach to how the process works. Why should your kids have a dull and uneventful summer, when they can get a one-of-a-kind experience with us? Read further to learn why we are the best candle-making camp in Southern California. 

A Unique Experience for Your Child

When making candles, the first step in the process is learning about the different types of waxes and scents that you can use in candle making. During our Potions and Lotions camp, students will learn the necessary process of candle making to create beautiful candles made with several different ingredients that you may find around, such as crayons, old candles, and other materials. 

They will learn melt and pour techniques that will use a variety of waxes, like beeswax, paraffin, soy wax, and others, as well as basic stirring and knowing when to add essential oils, so they do not get ruined in the process. They will make votives, dipped candlesticks, wax melts and other varieties. We also teach them how to incorporate safety when our campers create their masterpieces.   Candle making can teach campers confidence while boosting their creativity and self-esteem. They can also learn skills that are not only valuable, but they can learn to make gifts for the people they care about.

Learn and Practice Mindfulness

At Pali, our Potions and Lotions class focuses on the whole person, so not only will your child learn how to make delicious smelling candles, but they will also learn how to practice mindfulness and relaxation techniques. Our staff has spent several years learning certain practices such as:

• Yoga
• Tai Chi
• Grounding

Practicing relaxation and mindfulness has a lot of benefits, not only to your child’s mental health but to their physical health. Some of the things where it can benefit children are:

• Improves Concentration and Focus
• They will get better sleep
• Less Anxiety
• Better Mood Regulation
• Can Better Regulate Emotions
• Improves Social Skills 
• And more

There are several physical benefits of mindfulness when practiced by adults and children, which include a drop in stress levels and better cardiovascular health and wellness. Some forms of mindfulness activities such as yoga and tai chi can promote physical fitness and strength. We feel that every child should have a whole person approach when it comes to their development.

Our staff is highly trained in their fields, and we work hard to make sure that each of our counselors connects with every camper. Our goal is to make sure that our students leave camp with an experience that is educational, empowering, fun, and creative, and has the necessary life skills needed to tackle any challenge with ease.
