F-FID Magazine. health, Fitness and Beauty Feature

From a very young age, I worked in Venezuela, my country of origin, in the world of sports camps for children. Due to the critical situation of the country, I decided to emigrate to the United States to pursue a safer and a better quality of life.

With my degree in Psychology, Icame to the US where I obtained myMasters Degree in Family Therapyas well as different  certifications inthe field of human’s behavior. Upongraduation, I began my private practiceas a psychologist, life coach, and clinicalhypnotherapist, and it was at that momentwhen I realized the growing need to createextensive programs that equip childrenand their families with effective tools thatwill help them cope with all the challengesthat modern life imposes. Then, I decidedto leave my  practice to dedicate myselfto creating programs for children thatcombine the physical and sports aspectsof camps with a professional  and uniquesystem of social and emotional learning,also known as life skills. So, what betterway to broadcast these programs than tooffer them during the more than 600 freehours that children have during the year intheir school breaks?

I spent a full year researching how kidslearn these life skills faster and moreeffectively and how to apply them tocamp programs, and  it was then when theconcept of Camp Unbeatables emerged.I started by doing a pilot test in a campwith 25 children in the  condominiumwhere I used to live, basically with the kidsof my friends. And, without having to saymuch more, 15 years later, we have workedwith more than 10,000 children in SouthFlorida.

As a main part of our virtual-real program,we have created a group of animatedsuperheroes (The Unbeatables), whose“super powers” lie in the fact that theyhave “the formula” to be successful andhappy in life. This formula is passed onto the children who attend our programsthrough virtual presentations on acomprehensive array of topics such as:fitness, nutrition, wellness, social skills,family improvement, school success, basicsin finances, earth conservation, careerexploration, inner emotional balance,among others.
