WHAT IS AN

                                      EMPOWER CAMP?

AGE GROUPS:  8th grade – 12th grade

 

This incredible three day Camp is meant to provide students with proven and innovative empowerment activities that develop the confidence, motivation, compassion and resilience necessary to thrive in today’s world and to navigate some of the social pressures of young teenagers in our society.  This can be done in a residential camp setting (recommended) or a day camp setting.

 

  Students who have attended in the past have used phrases such as, “Amazing”,  “ Thank you, this changed my life!”, “I finally made friends with people I thought were jerks!”,  “It was the most fun and rewarding time I have ever had in at an event!”

 

  The purpose of this camp is to empower students to become leaders in transforming their schools and communities to be more just and inclusive. The experience is designed to lay the groundwork for students to step out of their comfort zone and begin to understand themselves and others. 
                                   

  The campsite recommended is located at Whispering Pines in Prescott, AZ.  The food is fabulous and the weather is nice and cool enhanced by the fresh aroma of pine trees. Students sleep in cabins
