Background:
Camp fYrefly stands for fostering, Youth, resiliency, energy, fun, leadership, yeah! It was created by Dr. Andre P. Grace and Mr. Kristopher Wells in the Faculty of Education, University of Alberta. The camp is designed to build the leadership capacity and resiliency of sexual minority youth.
Objectives:
The Camp is facilitated by trained adult educators, youth workers, and youth leaders who offer a wide range of powerful youth focused workshops and creative skills-building activities. The Camp is jam-packed with drama, music, writing, visual art, empowerment, reflection, anti-oppression work, personal growth opportunities, and in depth learning activities about specific youth social issues.
Milestones:
The camp continues to grow and attracts youth from across Canada. Last year the camp was featured on CBC and CTV national news. This year we expect more than 50 youth from across Canada to attend the camp!
Budget:
The camp registration fee is $25.00 per youth, which reflects a greatly subsidized rate to encourage all interested youth to attend.
Needs:
The camp needs interested youth leaders from across Canada to attend and share their knowledge and skills!
The camp is always looking for individual and corporate sponsors to help the camp continue to grow. The camp has raised over $10,000 from individuals and community groups from across North America who believe in the importance of supporting the next generation of social justice leaders.
