Speak Up Camp: Advanced Assertiveness and Boundaries for Teens
A four-day camp for teens ages 14 to 17 who can hold a conversation but find it hard to say no. Teens practice setting boundaries, resisting peer pressure and asking adults for what they need.
Class Experience
This camp moves quickly and uses harder scenarios than a beginner class: a friend pushing for answers to homework, a group chat pile-on, asking a teacher to reconsider a grade. Teens script their words, rehearse them, then try again with the other person pushing back. The teacher coaches tone as well as words.
How classes work
The camp meets 4 days in one week for 55 minutes a day, with up to 5 learners. Each day builds on the one before.
What we'll cover
Day 1: Passive, Aggressive, Assertive – Hear the difference and rewrite replies.
Day 2: Saying No – Short, clear refusals that keep respect on both sides.
Day 3: When They Keep Pushing – Hold the line through three rounds of pressure.
Day 4: Asking Adults for What You Need – Plan and rehearse a request to a teacher or coach.

Parents Often Ask
The scenarios are harder and include pushback, so teens practice holding a position under pressure.
No. Assertive means clear and respectful. Tone is coached throughout.
Yes, in pairs and small groups. It is where most of the learning happens.
It meets 4 times in one week for 55 minutes each day, so it fits into a school break.
Each day builds on the one before, so attending every day is best.
