Frequently Asked Questions

POWER4TEENS is a confidence and empowerment program for girls ages 8–16. Through interactive activities, discussions, fitness, leadership challenges and real life experiences, girls develop confidence, self-awareness, communication skills and the tools to navigate friendships, body awareness, stress and everyday challenges.

We’re not just an activity based recreation program. Our focus is on helping girls become more confident, capable and self-aware while having fun and connecting with other like minded girls. We combine movement, leadership, personal development and meaningful conversations in an environment that encourages girls to be themselves.

We are silly, creative, honest, and most importantly authentically us! 

POWER4TEENS is for girls who are ready to participate, challenge themselves, meet other girls, have fun and grow their confidence. We’re a great fit for active, curious girls who enjoy being part of a group and are open to trying new things, learning about themselves and stepping outside their comfort zone.

NO! POWER4TEENS is a recreational program. Our direct team is NOT trained to provide therapy, counselling or one-on-one behavioural support. We are best suited for girls who can participate safely, mentally and emotionally and independently within a group environment alongside peers and staff. 

We do however, know and work with from time to time MANY amazing, coaches, therapists, and medical professionals. We would be more than happy to refer you to them, just ask! 

POWER4TEENS is a group based recreational program. Our instructors work to support all participants, and sadly are not trained nor equipped to provide dedicated one-on-one supervision or intensive behavioural support. 

We want to ensure our program is a positive and appropriate fit for every girl who joins us. Please contact us directly if you have any further questions. 

Activities vary by program but may include leadership challenges, fitness and movement, team-building games, discussions, creative activities, journaling, confidence exercises, workshops, outdoor activities and other hands on experiences.

Our two main goals are always to keep the girls moving in a fun, active way and a take home topic of discussion. 

Not at all! Girls don't need to arrive feeling confident. We create opportunities for them to practice speaking up, trying new things, leading, collaborating and stepping outside their comfort zone in a positive environment.

We cannot guarantee immediate change. Just as in life, new skills take lots of time but we hope somewhere down the road every girl will remember some of the skills they have learned within our programs. 

Think about all the stages of planting a single seed! 

Fitness and movement are part of POWER4TEENS, but we're not a traditional fitness program. Movement is used as a way to build confidence, strength, energy and a positive relationship with our bodies.

Games like ice skating, obstacles courses, or racing to find a friends shoe is how we disguise our "fitness" component! Shhhh, don't tell them! ;)
