Hi I’m Debs Bamford
and I’ve been known as ‘Aunty Debs’ since I was a teenager myself. I was the kid that everyone came to for advice as even at that age I would listen and give a variety of options for my friends to mull over. I was rubbish at gaining perspective for myself though and would get stuck in a loop of negativity as I had little self-worth.
The first time I felt totally confident in myself was being a counsellor at Camp Walden, Michigan in my 20’s. I learnt how to communicate with teenagers on their level through fun activities and living in a cabin for 8 weeks with 14 of them. I loved it so much I went back a 2nd year! ... Read More
Why Choose Confidence Camp?
Being a teenager can prove challenging at times, can’t it?
Being a parent to a teenager is also less easy than when they were younger, isn’t it?
And what about those educators that have to make sure they prove to society they have provided significant improvement to a teenagers life! Can be pretty stressful, can’t it?
Ultimately Confidence Camp recognises that young people are the future developers of society. Right now we have an epidemic of depression, anxiety, low self worth and self esteem affecting young people and hugely limiting their beliefs. The pressures of fitting in, being liked, having the right image, taking the right subjects etc, is exacerbated through the regular use of social media and gaming channels.
If you could learn ways of keeping good mental health, improving self worth and becoming more aware of how to lead a happy life; then wouldn't you want to reshape yourself for unlimited potential?
