Looking and Sounding Confident
Posture, eye contact and a steady voice, practiced in pairs.
Teen Confidence Camp: Speak Up, Join In and Feel at Ease
A four-day camp for teens ages 13 to 16 who hold back in groups. Teens practice small, repeatable steps for speaking up, joining a conversation and handling awkward moments.
Class Experience
Each day has one skill and a lot of low-pressure practice. Teens try short role-plays in pairs before doing anything in front of the group, and no one is put on the spot. The teacher models each step first and gives private, kind feedback. Teens leave each day with one small challenge to try at home or school.
How classes work
The camp meets 4 days in one week for 50 minutes a day, with up to 5 learners. Each day builds on the one before.
What we'll cover
Day 1: Looking and Sounding Confident – Posture, eye contact and a steady voice, practiced in pairs.
Day 2: Joining In – How to enter a conversation and add to it.

Teens leave with a short list of steps to keep practicing, and the teacher can suggest a weekly club.
