The Organized Mind Track Out Camp

📍 Week 1 ✔️

Every Friday this summer, we’ll gather around our adventure map, sign our names, and take a group photo. By the end of the summer, this banner will be filled with memories, inside jokes, new friendships, and the signatures of every camper who made TOM Summer 2026 special.

Here’s to our very first photo and the beginning of a whole summer of adventures. ☀️🗺️💛

💙 Meet Aspen! 💙

We’re excited to welcome Aspen to The Organized Mind team this summer!

Aspen is home from college and will be joining us in our After School Program. Fun fact: Aspen attended T.O.M. Track Out Camp and ASP through middle school and is now coming back as a staff member.

It’s incredibly special to see former campers come back and help create the same positive experiences they enjoyed growing up.

Be sure to say hello and help us give Aspen a warm welcome! ☀️💙

This week’s highlights:

Lately we've been collecting the good stuff. ☀️

Bare feet in the water. Fresh strawberries at the farmers market. Fishing victories. Creative projects. New friendships. Lots of laughs.

These little moments may seem simple, but they're often the memories kids talk about long after camp is over.

A few favorites from the past few weeks at The Organized Mind. ❤️

Confidence starts here.

What we see at camp daily:
Some kids create something they’re proud of, then immediately downplay it.

“It’s bad.”
“I messed it up.”
“It’s not that good.”
“They’re better than me.”

Many children struggle to receive pride without canceling it.

Try this tonight:
When your child shows you something they made, resist jumping straight to critique or praise.

Instead ask:

“What part are you most proud of?”

Then pause and let them answer.

That question builds internal pride instead of dependence on outside approval.

Confidence grows when kids learn to recognize their own progress.
