Held between Fridays and Sundays, youth get to sleep in tents, participate in nature walks and exercise challenges, and disengage from technology and modern conveniences. It is a tremendous opportunity for facilitators, mentors, and volunteers to connect with youth participants on a more meaningful level and break down barriers that might have hindered the participants ability to thrive.
Camp Priorities:
- Life skills – tent assembly, cooking, survival skills
- Reflective practices
- Recreation
