A couple spots left at summer camp for young activists

August 12, 2009

Hello BAARN and BAveg, We've got a couple spots left for our week-long vegan summer camp next week for youth interested in activism and social change, and we are greatly reducing the price to be affordable to more people and to hopefully entice a couple of last-minute registrations. Can you spread the word to any youth you know or to other contacts? See the announcement below.

YEA Camp!With just a few days to go, we are making our couple of

remaining spots at this summer's Youth Empowered Action Camp (YEA!)

available at a very discounted rate. YEA is a summer camp for young

people ages 11 to 15 who are interested in social change and making a

difference in the world. Campers at YEA 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, and will

leave camp with a thoughtful plan of action and a supportive community

of peers and mentors to help make it happen.
