WHEN
WE VISITED THE CAMERON BOYS CAMP WE WERE AMAZED AT THE ITEMS THE BOYS WORKED
WITH. CRAFTS, CAMPING, LIVING IN THE TREES AND A UNIQUE EDUCATION PROCESS
THAT IS BOTH EFFECTIVE AND FUN. IT IS QUITE AN EXPERIENCE FOR ANY YOUNG
MAN THAT NEEDS SPECIAL CARE AND ATTENTION. I ALMOST WISHED I WAS TWELVE
AGAIN SO I COULD SIGN UP!
CAMERON
BOYS CAMP IS A WILDERNESS CAMPING PROGRAM DESIGNED TO PROVIDE BOYS AND
THEIR FAMILIES AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK OUT PROBLEMS THROUGH A HIGHLY STRUCTURED
ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM. THE CAMP IS LOCATED ON 902 WOODED ACRES.
CAMERON BOYS CAMP OFFERS THE FREEDOM OF BEING OUTDOORS AND THE STRUCTURE
OF SMALL GROUPS WITH CONSTANT, CARING SUPERVISION. BOYS LIVE IN GROUPS
OF TEN WITH THREE COUNSELORS, CALLED "CHIEFS." WITH THE HELP OF THEIR PEERS
AND CHIEFS, CAMPERS LEARN DISCIPLINE, POSITIVE BEHAVIOR PATTERS AND SELF-WORTH.
THERAPEUTIC
CAMPING USES A TEAM, OR GROUP, WORK APPROACH TO HELP BOYS GROW SOCIALLY,
EMOTIONALLY, MENTALLY, PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY. THE GOAL IS TO BUILD
POSITIVE, HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE BOYS AND CHIEFS. THROUGH THESE
RELATIONSHIPS DEEP HURTS ARE HEALED AND BAD ATTITUDES ARE CHANGED. THE
RELATIONSHIP SKILLS EACH BOY LEARNS ARE TRANSFERRED HOME TO HIS FAMILY.
AT THE TIME OF THIS WRITING A GIRLS CAMP IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD IS BEING
DESIGNED AND PLANS FINALIZED FOR THE NEAR FUTURE. TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE
CAMP AND IT'S PROGRAMS PLEASE CONTACT:
