Youth Camps

Anytown Utah – ages 15 to 18

July 29- August 4, 2012
For six days during the summer, students (i.e. delegates) dive into engaging exercises and honest dialogue to develop the self awareness, education, conflict resolution, and communication skills necessary to peacefully resolve prejudice and bigotry. The camp schedule includes workshops, interactive activities, culture night, and many additional experiences. Delegates gain not only a deeper sense of their own cultural identity, and an understanding of others, but also the tools needed to speak their mind respectfully and peacefully in their communities, schools, and situations of conflict. Anytown Utah is more than just a camp it’s a way of life. Anytown offers the building blocks for young and old to deeply examine our society and discover how we can make it better.

Global Leaders – ages 15 to 18

A four-day condensed version of Anytown Utah camp (see above),
this program allows students and faculty from local high schools to meet during the academic school year to examine how they can make their school environment and the broader community safer and more respectful of our differences. Global Leaders is the beginning of a year long partnership between participating schools, students, and the Inclusion Center. This partnership empowers alumni to take the lead in addressing bias, and oppression in their schools through multi-school campaigns like Oppression Awareness Week and Mix It Up Day.

Global Friends – for Middle and Junior High School Students
