camp power to be jamaica
Camp Power to Be started out as a small program in 2010.
In our first year, we provided space for 36 children and implemented the camp in an open field area.
Since then, we have expanded the program to provide services for youth between the ages of 6 and 18 at Negril All Ages School in Negril, Westmoreland.
Mt. Airy Primary and Infant School, located about 20 minutes from Negril, is the new site for the program for July 2023.
Renewing and restoring Camp Power to Be after a three-year hiatus brought on by the impact of COVID-19
We are pleased to be restarting this program in Jamaica with our flagship Literacy and Leadership Camp. Our program at Mt. Airy Primary and Infant School will begin with two streams that concentrate on different aspects of child and youth development with a focus on literacy and leadership.
• Literacy Stream (6 to 11 years old)
• Leadership Stream (12 to 14 years old)

CAMP POWER TO BE

Service learning volunteers will gain various skills including lesson planning, classroom management, and workshop and lesson facilitation skills throughout their volunteer placement with Camp Power to Be (see above program description) in Jamaica. Student volunteers are also responsible for leading arts and recreational activities during the camp!
In addition to the learning and professional skill building, student volunteers engage and share memorable fun moments with other post-secondary students who share similar interests! Join us in Negril, Jamaica for a learning experience of a lifetime!
