This camp explores diversity as a whole for all children ages 7-10. It is a camp that will open the eyes of all children to better understand those around them on many levels; family structure, community, personal identity, and leadership.

  • A camp made up of youth from all backgrounds
  • Ages 7 -10
  • Looking at identity and how kids identify themselves in their community
  • Looking at various family structures and knowing they’re all okay
  • Looking at leadership and how to use your voice in different situations
  • Looking at ways to use conflict resolution in everyday experiences
