The Environmental Awareness Group, the Gilbert Agricultural and Rural Development Center and the US Peace Corps are organising a summer camp for kids in Antigua and Barbuda:
Camp G.R.O.W. (Gaining a Respect for the Outdoors and our World) seeks to bring youth together for two weeks to cultivate an appreciation for and understanding of the natural environment and its links to healthy and sustainable communities. Through a variety of fun outdoor and experiential learning activities, the camp will highlight Antigua and Barbuda’s unique ecology while fostering responsible environmental stewardship. The camp also aims to increase youth’s knowledge of local agricultural practices and how agriculture impacts our lives.
Camp G.R.O.W. is a partnership between Peace Corps Volunteers, The Environmental Awareness Group of Antigua & Barbuda (EAG), and the Gilbert Agricultural & Rural Development Center (GARD Center). Camp G.R.O.W. will empower youth and inspire leadership through the development of life skills such as decision-making, critical thinking and teamwork. It will provide an opportunity for campers to have fun and get their hands dirty while developing a relationship with the world around them.
Visit the Camp G.R.O.W website for further details, including information about how to register a camper and how you can support the Camp G.R.O.W. initiative with time, money or supplies.
