Guest guest Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Hello Bay Area activists!I'm writing again to let you know about the launch of a new vegan summer camp for young people interested in making a difference in the world -- either for animal rights or for another issue of importance to them. We are still looking for more youth to attend. Do you know any 11-15 year olds who might be interested? Can you help publicize by forwarding the announcement below, or printing out and distributing one of our flyers? (One flyer highlights the fact that the camp is vegan -- that flyer is for veg restaurants or events; the other is our standard flyer and highlights the activist focus of the camp.) Please see the description below, and let me know if you have any questions or would like to get involved or help in any way.Thank you!NoraWe are thrilled about the launch of Youth Empowered Action Camp (YEA!), a summer camp for young people ages 11 to 15 who are interested in activism and social change. Campers at YEA will choose an issue of importance to them, share about why they care so much about it, and practice thinking strategically about how to address it. Youth will learn valuable communications, leadership, and campaign skills during this five-day camp in the Santa Cruz mountains. They will leave with a thoughtful plan of action to help animals and a supportive community of peers and mentors to help make it happen. What: Youth Empowered Action Summer Camp When: Monday, August 17, to Friday, August 21 Where: Quaker Center in Ben Lomond, Calif., just outside Santa Cruz The camp is $750, though scholarships are available for those who cannot afford this -- just ask! The cost includes comfortable cabin lodging,delicious and mostly organic vegan food, all activities and workshops, a highly experienced adult staff at a phenomenal camper-to-staff ratio of 3:1, and inclusion in a post-camp mentoring program. For more information on YEA Camp, please visit www.yeacamp.org. For more details, please contact info, or call (415) 449-1915. 2 of 2 File(s) YEA Camp flyer.pdf vegan camp.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
