WHY MESSS?

Internal
Motivation

Choosing to do something because we enjoy it or find it interesting. As opposed to doing it for an external incentive or because we feel pressure to do it, such as a reward or deadline.

Empathy

The ability to sense the emotions of others, paired with the ability to imagine what someone else may be thinking or feeling.

Self-Regulation

The ability to remain in control of our behaviour, emotions, and thoughts in any situation. This includes the ability to manage disruptive emotions and impulses.

Self-Awareness

Being aware of the many aspects of the self, such as character traits, behaviours, triggers and feelings.

Social Skills

The ability to interact and communicate with others through verbal and non-verbal communication ( speech, gesture, facial expression and body language).

2023 curriculum

Working for the Messs Makers summer camp program was an incredibly rewarding experience. Knowing that what we are teaching the kids could help aid them in their daily life is a great feeling, and the friendships you watch form and strengthen everyday is beautiful. You also have the opportunity to meet some great people in the community that specialize in different things, such as reiki teachers, so you have the ability to gain helpful contacts! - Emily B.
