This is a unique week-long day camp experience for children in and around Calgary. This day camp at Rocky Ridge Retreat is like no other! Kids connect to nature through play, discovery, art, and movement. Each day, children are guided in yoga, meditation, mindfulness, sound healing, art, gardening, outdoor games, and stories, in addition to baking/cooking explorations in the kitchen.
Large open grasslands, rolling foothills, mountain views, a tranquil pond, a greenhouse & veggie garden, native plants, and picnic tables provide large engaging spaces for kids to be kids while connecting with nature and their true selves.
An indoor kitchen, washroom & yoga/movement/art studio are all part of this unique setting. Children who are 5 years of age and are attending with a sibling are welcome at the parents’ discretion.
Rocky Ridge Retreat is a private wellness centre located 10 minutes south of Calgary in DeWinton offering specialized wellness camps, classes and retreats.

What parents are saying:
My daughter had the best week at Little Souls Summer Day Camp with Amber. She loved all the different crafts and outdoor play and meeting new friends. As a Mom, it is such a relief to know your child is in good hands, enjoying each and every activity they are guided through. Amber incorporates it all-yoga, crafts, outdoor exploring and mindfulness. Looks like we will be doing this camp again! (Melissa W, Parent)
The relaxed, kind and inviting environment Amber provides for the children attending her camps is exactly what every parent hopes for when leaving their kids in the care of another. My children loved every moment spent with her and the other children in attendance. Their days were filled with exploration, creativity, self care and the freedom to just be children. I highly recommend Amber's offerings and look forward to my children enjoying many more days spent with her learning and growing! Thank you Amber! (Nadine G, Parent)
My daughter and I have both attended events with Amber at her beautiful retreat centre. I would recommend all of her offerings. The summer kids camps, the school break camps, the special classes. There is so much for the kids to do: crafts, yoga, sound bathes, harvesting fruits and veggies from the garden and turning them into delicious zucchini chocolate bread and Saskatoon lemonade. Playing with rocks and bugs. Going for a walk to the pond. It's such a peaceful and calm setting, run by a beautiful human being. Thank you Amber! I am so grateful that we found you when we did. We have already enjoyed a few years of camps and events with you, and we both look forward to our next event with you! (Pam M. Parent)

What They’re Saying
Amber is a Beautiful, gentle and welcoming Soul.
As an empath and a sufferer of fibromyalgia, the turmoil of the world the past few years has caused me ongoing physical pain and tension. I needed guidance to overcome this as well as rescue my mental health. I have found my “medicine” in Amber who has a balanced approach to yoga knowing exactly what the mind and body needs to come into alignment. Her wisdom in her yoga practice and teachings has provided me with the physical, emotional and spiritual guidance that I needed for healing.
Her space at Rocky Ridge Retreat is warm, beautiful and inviting with a breath taking full unobstructed view of the Rocky Mountains. A piece of Heaven on Earth.
Amber emulates sincere love and compassion in her teachings and I am grateful that she is with me on my journey. So Blessed.
~ Wanda M
We always look very forward to our weekly Tuesday night yoga with Amber.
Unlike many studios, we enjoy ample space and a serenely slow pace in this deep stretch Yin Yoga class at her stunning countryside studio. Amber greets each guest with sincere warmth, welcoming all levels and abilities into her space.
In fact, it's hard to believe that we can arrive in such a transformative environment in less than 15 min from our home in Lake Bonavista.
It's our weekly rejuvenation!
~ Erin & Malcom
Amber’s expertise in the field of mindfulness, yoga and energy work (to name a few) have been extremely beneficial for our entire family. Rocky Ridge Retreat and its incredible surroundings offers a beautiful backdrop to retune, recondition and reset! The last few years have been tough on many, and the tools and techniques Amber shares pave the path towards ‘pressing the pause button’ more often. Not only is Amber at the forefront of this movement, she has helped our family to thrive at work and at home by teaching us that the best way to speed up is to actually to slow down.
~ Angela M.
Amber is an amazing educator, mom and friend. She cares deeply about children and their mental health. Amber has such a calming presence and is extremely knowledgeable in mindfulness. My children and I have benefited from the various sessions and camps Amber has offered over the years. Her new location, Rocky Ridge Retreat, is exactly that! A beautiful space that overlooks the Rocky Mountains and rolling hills. She has created both an indoor and outdoor area that allows for comfort, discussion and exploration. Taking a class or enrolling in a camp is a must!!
~ Kristy Provost
Rocky ridge retreat is breath taking!
The energy of the space, the view and the essence of Amber and what she brings into her practice is truly a gift. I leave my weekly class feeling like I just pampered my soul. Deep healing, grounding and love is always the experience I can expect when I attend her yin yoga and mediation class. Amber is a true gem, always full of light and showing up with authenticity and grace. Blessed to have this sacred being and her beautiful space apart of my weekly ritual.
~ Shannon M.
I liked doing crafts, the sound bath, and also the breathing ball. I didn’t like it, I loved it.
~ Asher 6
I love this! You have everything an ADHD kid needs. It is an amazing camp because you get to relax.
~ L. Age 9
