Our Mission
At Kamp Khalia, our mission is to give underprivileged youth the tools and experiences to transform their lives. Through mindfulness, meditation, yoga, financial literacy, and creative expression, financial literacy as it relates to scarcity mindset, we guide each participant to Breathe — finding inner calm and clarity, Believe — discovering confidence and self-worth, and Become — resilient, empowered individuals ready to thrive and inspire change in their communities.
This ten-day wellness retreat not only helps with the skills listed above but it allows them to see the world from a different perspective. Most adolescents from underprivileged communities never leave their country, limiting their point of view of the world. Getting to travel across the world shows them life isn’t just about what you want to do but who you want to be. Showing them, they can make a difference in their communities even if they choose to leave.
Who is Khalia?
Khalia's life has been a journey of overcoming while turning pain into purpose. She grew up in the foster care system, navigating the trauma of a mother battling addiction and an absent father. These experiences, while challenging, instilled in her a deep sense of resilience. Later, Khalia faced her own struggles with addiction, a chapter that ultimately led to a profound transformation. Now, with five years of sobriety and a deep commitment to healing her inner child, she is dedicated to giving back to youth experiencing similar hardships.
This personal journey inspired Khalia to write "Khalia's Journey to Joy," a children's book focused on youth mental health. It’s her way of reaching young people and sharing healthy habits for healthier minds.
She created Kamp Khalia to offer underserved youth the opportunity she once needed—a chance to heal and see the world through a new lens. Her mission is to create a space for them to breathe, believe, and become the person they are meant to be.
