Our goal is to transform urban youths into successful students and global and community leaders by engaging them in socially dynamic, content-rich learning experiences.Last years camp, the first ever ‘Camp GK’ was great fun for everyone who took part. At the end of this all the teens made an educational maze, explaining about how child trafficking works. At the end people were able to donate to the organisation, and during the maze teens received a load of freebies that they can wear to help the cause. I wrote an article from a teens perspective going through the maze, for those that didn’t get a chance to go, and it can be seen here.
After the success of last years camp, there is now another, this time with a focus around Machinima. 40 teens applied, and 15 got in. I am one of those lucky 15, and I’ll now explain briefly whats happening in this years camp. Campers are expected to attend camp every day it’s on. It’s over the course of 5 weeks, and there are 2 hour sessions over the course of Monday to Friday.
Over the next few weeks i will be regularly posting articles for TSLN on whats going, along with pictures of the camp. These posts may also been shown on the CRC camp blog. Bellow are some pictures i took of Fridays camp, accompanied with a description of whats going on. Check back here regularly for updates
