University School of Nashville: The Kindness Club

The Kindness Club is a social-emotional learning camp at University School of Nashville for kids ages 6 to 8. Using community service projects, friendship activities, and empathy-building games, children practice skills like compassion, cooperation, and caring for others — the kind of foundational character work that benefits every other part of a kid's life. It's a purposeful program that doesn't try to be everything; the focus stays squarely on how we treat each other and why it matters. The schedule is well-suited to younger elementary kids: four half-days running June 15–18, from 8:00 to 11:30 a.m. It wraps before noon, which keeps the energy high and avoids burnout. The camp is held on USN's campus at 2000 Edgehill Ave, and at $200 for the week, it's an accessible price point for a program at a well-regarded private school campus. If your rising first or second grader tends to be empathetic, or you simply want to reinforce those values in a structured setting, this is a thoughtful fit.
