Camp Overview
In this immersive program, students engage with nonprofit organizations and participate in service activities by volunteering on-site locally. They learn about the nonprofit sector and the following:
Understand the context of our service: politically, historically, emotionally and environmentally
Think critically about the types of service with which we are engaged and the root causes of the need for it
Focus on collaborative relationships with community partners and center them in the design, facilitation and evaluation of service projects
Expand our understanding of ourselves, our community and the world
Remember that each person, habitat, and space has inherent dignity, and avoid making assumptions based on our own experiences.
Model respect for inclusivity, strive for belonging, and value diversity through our language and actions
