So, what exactly is Camp Ultraviolet?

Camp Ultraviolet is a confidence-building program for girls ages 7–13, created by Kelly Hobbs, CMPC®, that pairs age-appropriate mental performance skills with movement, friendship and fun.

What to expect

A full day of movement, learning and connection.

Morning

Start connected. Then move.

Camp begins with a craft and morning huddle. From there, girls move through activities like barre, Pilates, dance or another form of physical activity, then shift into the core mental-training lesson for the day.

Afternoon

Try, reset and finish strong.

Afternoons may include figure skating or another physical activity depending on the camp location. Campers then cool down with mindful movement such as stretching or Pilates before wrapping up the day together.

How to prepare

Pack for movement. Bring an open mind.

Exact details vary by location, and registered campers receive a full packing list before camp.

Lunch + plenty of snacks

Refillable water bottle

Yoga mat or towel

Running shoes

Stretchy athletic clothing

Hoodie or light jacket

For skating camps: warm layers, gloves and socks

Most importantly: an open mind and open heart

Camp Ultraviolet community

The story behind CUV

Born from sport psychology. Built around girlhood.

Kelly layered age-appropriate mental performance skills into the kind of athletic summer camp experience she loved growing up. Camp Ultraviolet first launched as a week-long camp in Nashville and has continued to expand with new locations and formats.

The goal has stayed the same: build girls up, celebrate individuality and remind them that working together helps everyone succeed.
