Inspiring Creativity, Building Resilience

Creativity is more than just fun—it’s a powerful tool for well-being and problem-solving. Our Kids Adventure & Survival Packs encourage creativity while fostering emotional resilience in challenging times.

Helping Children Survive & Prosper After Trauma

Trauma can have a lasting impact on a child’s mental and emotional well-being. As Dr. John Kruse, MD, PhD, explains:

“We know that trauma, defined as an experience that is perceived as dangerous, violent, or threatening, plays a large role in determining who develops post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and personality disorders.”
—John Kruse, MD, PhD (Wise & Well)

Our Kids Adventure & Survival Packs help children cope, heal, and regain a sense of control in uncertain times. They are also a source of comfort for children of First Responders and Military Gold Star Families, providing a creative outlet to express emotions and find moments of peace.

Why Creativity Matters

According to Maryville University, creativity enhances mental growth by promoting problem-solving, imagination, experimentation, and self-expression. Our packs nurture these skills through engaging activities like:

Moon, sun, time, and star tracking

Mapping, drawing, painting, and writing
Governments Can Help
Individuals Can Help

More Than Just Emergency Supplies

While many survival kits focus on physical needs, few address the unique emotional and psychological needs of children during and after a crisis. Our Kids Adventure & Survival Packs help kids:

Icon
Cope with uncertainty by fostering a sense of contribution and empowerment
Icon
Express emotions through creative projects that encourage healing
Icon
Stay engaged during recovery periods when parents may be preoccupied

Additionally, children undergoing medical treatments, such as cancer care, can use these packs to spark their imagination and find moments of joy. They’re also a great activity for family vacations, turning any trip into an adventure!
