We are so pleased you've expressed interest in Lionheart Lounge. You're probably wondering, what is 'Lionheart Lounge'? Well, we're so glad you asked!
What is 'Lionheart Lounge'?
Lionheart Lounge is an online program that is designed for our Lionheart families with children age 7-15ish, who have previously attended one of our face-to-face camps. The purpose of this program is to enable you to connect, share with other Lionheart families, reduce isolation and stress but also maintain connection and belonging.
Lionheart Lounge is a set of 3 modules across 3 weeks where you and your child(ren) will meet online, via Teams, with facilitators and other participants from some of our previous camps. Adults and children (age 7-11ish) and teens (12-15ish) will all meet separately and resources will be posted out to you beforehand. This year we will also be holding an optional in-person final celebration session with both adults and children.
What is expected of participants?
Lionheart Lounge will occur during the Term 3 school term on the following dates:
Children: 3 weekly sessions, commencing Sunday 3rd August at 3:30pm.
Teens: 3 weekly sessions, commencing Sunday 3rd August at 5pm.
Adults: 3 weekly sessions, commencing Monday 4th August 8pm
**Plus optional combined 4th session IN PERSON for both adults and children on Sunday 24th August at 3:30pm**
We will require our participants to commit to attending all sessions, and as is the case for our face-to-face programs, adults, children and teens need to attend their sessions in each module.
In addition, it's important that you have access to a PC or laptop and strong internet connection to be able to access Teams for these sessions. If you do not have a device for each individual child registered in your family, please let us know as we may be able to assist with your technology needs and provide you temporarily with an iPad to use.
We will check with you each session if you'd like to provide some feedback to us, but we'll also email you a link to an online survey at the end of the program to seek your feedback about how you found the program. Your participation in providing feedback will be most helpful for us in shaping our future online programs.
Given this is an online space we'll all be meeting in, we also need a committment from everyone involved (yes, our facilitators, adults, children and teens too!) around confidentiality. All participants will be required to agree to maintain confidentiality of stories shared within the group context.
We're in! What's next?
If you're able to commit to the three weeks then please complete the form and submit. Please note this is not a confirmation of your registration, as this will only be issued after our final planning. The information we need to gather below is to help us contact you, and hear about how this year has looked for you so far. Please provide as much detail as possible as this will help us with our planning.
If you are selected to be part of the online program, we will issue you with confirmation of you and your child(ren)'s place, and will provide information sheets and resources to you prior to the commencement of the program.
We can't wait to see your faces again!
