Our Girls on Fire Confidence Conference is an amazing day of confidence boosting activities, including topics of growth mindset, mindfulness, navigating bullying, cyber safety, health and fitness, body image and self defence! We spend a day mentoring and helping our girls build their Confidence Tool Kit so they can navigate their Tween lives with CONFIDENCE!
The Conference has girls registered into teams of 8-10 girls along with one Table Coach. Our Table Coaches are women leaders from the community who sponsor a table to help support and lead the girls through the activities of the day. These amazing women are from all walks of life, everything from doctors to lawyers to electricians to hairstylists to magazine editors to bankers! We want to surround the girls with a diverse group of women so they can see possibilities for themselves. We encourage girls to make new friends and at the end of the day, they can capture phone numbers of new girls they’ve bonded with on their team.
The activities that the girls do are presented by the “SheRo Squad” Educators. These are women that our founder, Theresa Stanley, has hand picked to present on stage. Through out the day, the SheRo Squad teaches the girls to build their “Confidence Tool Box” with topics and activities on Growth Mindset, Mindfulness, Health, Friendships & Bullying, and Cyber Safety and Self Defence.
These girls LOVE to eat! We provide a delicious lunch catered by the local Subway and provided by our lunch Sponsor – Womanition Magazine. We have snack breaks during the day to keep the girls energized.
Our event is nut-free. If your child has additional dietary concerns, we will do our best to accommodate!
We are excited to offer our parents coffee, tea and refreshments provided by Sturgeon Valley Athletic Club (SVAC). SVAC will also be doing a presentation on how to keep tween and teen girls active. Stats show that physical activity in girls plummets after elementary school – leading to an increasingly sedentary lifestyle and increased chances of obesity and health problems. SVAC will be giving parents tips on how we can change this stat.
Our signature activity is straight from our martial arts roots! Every girl will break through their limiting beliefs and struggles by breaking a real wood board! Parents will be able to witness this moment!
