Orientation week
MAY 30 – JUNE 6, 2021
cabin assignments & pre-orientation
First week of camp jitters, nope! We’re going to dive in to getting to know each other and breaking down barriers before Camp DHL even begins! This week you’ll get your virtual “cabin” assignments, choose your weekly meeting time and work on your first creative activity.
week one
june 7 – 13, 2021
welcome & your story
Camp Director Nicole will introduce herself and share tips for you to make the most of your time at Camp DHL. Then you’ll dive in to this week’s lesson on discovering and embracing your uniqueness and letting go of stories that no longer serve you. The worksheet, challenge and questionnaire downloads will help you through the lesson. You’ll also start on a creative project that you’ll work on throughout camp and that will be joined with projects from all your fellow campers during week six.
week two
june 14 – 20, 2021
gratitude rides shotgun
As you start to lay out your intentions for your time at Camp DHL let’s take a moment to look at what’s working in your right now. This week’s activities will lay the groundwork for simple artful gratitude habits, help you discover the good stuff and dig deep to find the silver linings and find the beauty in ordinary things. You’ll get worksheet downloads, a creative project and a bonus activity too!
week three
june 21 – 27, 2021
dear future me
Now that you’ve basked in the glow of the here and now, let’s start dreaming… BIG. The exercises, worksheets and activities this week will help you explore the goals that have been on your mind as well as discover your underlying longings that have been lying in wait. You’ll do a variety of creative activities, both solo and with your cabin-mates, to not only brainstorm your aspirations but begin to prioritize where you want to start + you’ll get a creative project and special bonus.
week four
june 28 – JULY 4, 2021
make it happen
Last week was all about the right-brain… exploration, creativity and imagination. This week, you’re going get a lesson and worksheet downloads to help you tap into your left-brain analytical side by learning some of our favorite methods of taking our big, and sometimes overwhelming, dreams and drilling them down. We’ll turn dreams into goals that then become doable, bite-sized action items. Plus you’ll get a bonus activity to let you brain take a silly break from all the serious stuff.
week five
July 5 – 11, 2021
fortune favors the bold
Self-sabotage shows itself in many forms to try and stop us from living in our zone of genius or accomplishing the action-items needed to achieve our goals. This week’s coursework is designed to build your confidence, strengthen your risk-taking muscle, arm you against impostor syndrome and help you learn to embrace and use fear to your advantage. This week you’ll get the tools you need to keep up that momentum, set up an accountability system with your cabin to support each other at Camp DHL – and beyond – and do a creative project to help inspire others to keep up their good work.
week six
july 12 – 18, 2021
take care & camp dhl summit
In preparation of this week’s live virtual summit, we’ll have a closing assembly where we will review the work we’ve done of the last six weeks. We’ll do some work around self-care, celebrating accomplishments (big AND small) and taking care of yourself. AND! We’ll finally get to reveal the final results of the group project we all started on week one – our All-Camp Masterpiece!

Field trips are your chance to share your gifts with the whole camp! Think of it as a virtual talent show where you have the opportunity to host your own virtual hangout for a small group of fellow attendees as you…
- demo making homemade pasta
- offer tarot readings
- read a story you wrote
- lead a chat to share about the ups and down of balancing work and home life
- show everyone how to make friendship bracelets or…
- the sky’s the limit!
Submission form COMING SOON!
Before Camp DHL begins, you’ll receive a care package in the mail filled with goodies, supplies for the weekly Cabin Projects and more!
It’ll be just like the one you got when you were a kid except way less scratchy wool socks and stale trail mix and way more jumping up and down with delight while you open it.
Your care package will be sent to the address you submitted at registration. If you need to make any changes to that information, email katie mac so we can make sure you get your package on time!
