Over Their Heads?

My wife found the following five-day workshop (price: $155) advertised in the "Camps for Boys & Girls Ages 4-6" section of a community education leaflet:
Little Girl Power & Little Boy Power
Kids will learn about personal power & how attitude and beliefs about themselves affect how they handle friendships, peer relationships & opportunities/problems in life. Kids will look at their inner-self & the outer-self they present to the world to see if it fits with who they want to be.
Apart from wondering how many 4-6-year-olds really know what they want to be (apart from the usual vague fireman, spaceman or teacher notions), I have trouble imagining even my bright six-year-old contemplating his "inner-self". I therefore suspect that this is a tinsy bit too adult for the intended target audience.
