Reach Out! is an organization that runs week-long summer camps, designed to give young people the skills to be the leaders of the future. The camps help to create confident young people who wish to improve not only themselves, but the world around them. Varying in age from 12 to 17, young people come to attend the camps in Canada and the USA from across the world. They spend their time learning leadership skills, considering and discussing important issues such as pollution and health, and helping in the local community. They also meet many other people who have the same interests and beliefs and frequently make friendships that will last a lifetime.
There is no average day at the camp and changes are made to the timetable, which is handed out daily, to allow room for exciting events as they come up. However, camp members generally get up at 7:00 a.m. and, once they’ve eaten breakfast, start their day with outdoor games to get them warmed up for the busy day ahead. There are workshops in the morning on skills such as public speaking, and then there’s an hour for lunch at noon. For one hour in the afternoon, camp members have the opportunity to select from various activities that include dancing, yoga, basketball and song writing.
During the time at camp, there is a day known as Action Day. This is when small groups go out with an adult group leader to work with organisations in the neighbourhood.... Reach Out!
