Camp Everytown is an intensive youth leadership development program based on core values – respect, acceptance, and responsibility – that promote non-violent campus communities. The nationally recognized program focuses students' attention and promotes learning by taking them out of their daily environment and guiding them through intense interactions that provoke deep insight and empathy for others.
Life-changing and transformative, Camp Everytown replaces everyday prejudice with understanding and appreciation for all students.
Everytown instills social and emotional proficiencies that are crucial to discovering and staying on a purposeful path. As a result of participating, students will:
Return to their community with an improved awareness of themselves and their importance in the world
Recognize, develop, and appreciate an improved cultural identity
Develop and improve leadership skills that can be used to create harmony in their school, family, and community
Learn to break down barriers that typically limit personal growth
Develop techniques to apply learned empowerment and leadership skills to their personal lives
“CAMP EVERYTOWN has inspired me to become a better person and to make a difference. I plan on sharing what I’ve learned and showing others what they are capable of.”
