GREAT Camp
We look forward to making GREAT Camp a primary feature of GreaterLovesYou.com.
The pandemic paused us for Greater vision. We are relaunching in 2024. Stay tuned.
The GREAT Camp: Goodness, Responsibility, Excellence, Awareness, Togetherness.
GREAT Camp aims to inspire pre-teens and teens to embrace their creative potential as we expose them to explorations in
the Arts, Sciences, Technology, Entrepreneurship, Wellness, Civic Engagement and Social Change.
Ages Groups:
- Pre-teens & Teens: Ages 11 and up
- NOTE: Parents are welcomed and encouraged to "listen in" on camp sessions. However, a parent or guardian of at least 18yrs of age is required to be "on-site" & accessible during GREAT camp. Although we are proud to say we've only had GREAT particiation at our camp, all guardians will be asked to sign a waiver releasing us from any liabilities of any kind regarding your child. An organization's Youth Director may secure the waiver and attend on behalf of the parents.
Free Registration: WE LOOK FORWARD TO ANNOUNCING OUR NEXT GREAT CAMP WHEN SCHEDULED!
We'll let you know the date of the next camp so you can pre-register via email to GreatSpeechCamp@hotmail.com.
