Zen Studio Camp™ — A Calm, Small-Group Summer Experience for Kids Ages 5–8
A boutique mindfulness and creative movement summer camp designed for children who thrive in peaceful, supportive environments — serving families across Roseville, Shoreview, White Bear Lake, and the Twin Cities.
Led by licensed teacher and mindfulness educator Tara Willits, this intentionally small camp helps children build emotional regulation, confidence, and calm through gentle yoga, creative expression, and predictable daily rhythms.
✨ No loud gym spaces.
✨ No overstimulation.
✨ Just connection, creativity, and calm.
A Summer Camp Designed Differently
Many traditional summer camps are fast-paced, noisy, and overwhelming — especially for younger children or those who feel deeply.
Zen Studio Camp was intentionally created as a calmer alternative.
Each day follows a gentle, predictable flow that helps children feel safe, regulated, and confident while still experiencing creativity, movement, and play.
This is not childcare.
This is a thoughtfully designed wellness experience supporting the whole child.
