Kirsten is a very competent leader of Teen Connect and my husband and I feel very secure handing our teenagers over to her knowing that Kirsten has a strong structure in place and a support team to help her implement each activity with ease and safety.
The activities that Kirsten chooses to teach are skilled based with an emphasis on empowering each teen. They are fun and involve a lot of teamwork, typically outdoors and very inclusive of all skill sets and genres. This makes us very happy as parents and we have watched our teenagers flourish in this environment. Even our most timid teenager has learned to make friends and do activities that he never would have done had he not joined Kirsten in Teen Connect. Both my boys have become strong independent kids who have a set of social and activity skills that has brought them much confidence.
Kirsten is extraordinary. It's hard to fully capture her brilliance with teens in words. She possesses a remarkable talent for connecting with them on a personal level, making each one feel truly valued and understood for who they are. Kirsten has this uncanny ability to uncover their unique strengths and encourage them to embrace their individuality.
Her approach to mentoring is hands-on and deeply engaging. She doesn't just guide from the sidelines; she immerses herself in the journey alongside them, offering support and encouragement every step of the way.
When it comes to adventures, Kirsten ensures they are not only thrilling but also safe and inclusive. Every participant, regardless of background or ability, feels welcomed and accepted. Under Kirsten's guidance, everyone discovers a sense of belonging where they can authentically express themselves.
I have complete confidence in Kirsten's ability to care for and inspire teens. Whenever I send my kids to her camps, I know they're in good hands. They always return home with tales of magical adventures and new friendships that will last a lifetime. Kirsten's impact on their lives is truly remarkable.
