Montezuma County children will have a chance to \u201cbe fearless\u201d during a weeklong spring break camp later this month.<\/p>\n

The \u201cBe Fearless Every Day\u201d camp, hosted by LB Productions LLC, will be held March 18-22 in Mancos for children ages 5 to 12.<\/p>\n

The camp promises a week \u201cpacked with fun and excitement,\u201d and campers will get to enjoy singing, dancing, improv, hiking, crafts, games and more. A healthy lunch will be provided to campers as well, made by LB Productions founder Anita Burleson\u2019s son, who is a chef.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery child needs the confidence to pursue their dreams in life,\u201d Burleson said. \u201cThat\u2019s why our camp theme this year is \u2018Be Fearless Every Day.\u2019 So whether it\u2019s having the confidence to share your ideas, overcome adversity or just find their authentic voice, our camp activities are designed to give each child hope, purpose and an opportunity to shine their light wherever they go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Burleson said the mission behind LB Productions and the camps being offered, including the upcoming spring break camp, is to help children understand their value and find their talents.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to empower them and show them that they have value. Their ideas matter, their dreams matter because they\u2019re the future of this world,\u201d Burleson said. \u201cMy driving force is to encourage people to use the talents that are already in them. Children need that encouragement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Everything children will participate in during their time at the camp will be geared toward being courageous, speaking up, trying something new and making new friends.<\/p>\n

A team of teachers will help run the camp, and students will be split into small groups. Every 40 minutes or so, the groups will rotate. Some may be doing crafts, while others are dancing, singing or acting.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019ll be nonstop activity with the theme of being fearless,\u201d Burleson said.<\/p>\n

Although students are separated into small groups, they aren\u2019t separated by age. This encouraging students of all ages to interact with each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cultivate a family atmosphere,\u201d Burleson said. \u201cWhat always seems to happen is the big kids help the little kids and that relationship helps them grow. When you get that love from a younger kid who looks up to you, it empowers the big kid, and then the little kid is like, \u201cOh my gosh, this kid can help me.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

While there is no limit on the number of students at this moment, Burleson said the goal is to have at least 35. For the summer camp Burleson is hosting, she hopes to have at least 50 children participate.<\/p>\n

She also shared a story of a child with autism who attended her camp a number of years ago, and how the camp helped bring out a new side of her.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did a play called \u2018The Reluctant Butterfly,\u2019 and all she had to do was \u2018fly\u2019 across the stage like a butterfly. For her, that was a huge victory,\u201d Burleson said. \u201cWhen you see someone who has a challenge overcome that and do more they believe they can do, it\u2019s amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Burleson has done a large number of camps, this is the first one to take place in Mancos, as Burleson and her husband recently moved to Dolores.<\/p>\n

Burleson founded LB Productions in Canada back in 2006 with the purpose of empowering the next generation of leaders in the United States, Canada and Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that every person, big or small, has certain gifts and talents that simply need to be discovered and nourished,\u201d Burleson said. \u201cThis will enable them to navigate life\u2019s journey with purpose in order to let their light shine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Students who need help with the registration fee can apply for a scholarship that\u2019s being provided thanks to some Dolores businesses.<\/p>\n
