Project Details
Children who come to GCA’s camps receive a life skills education, particularly HIV-AIDS education instruction, while having the best time of their life. By providing them with this essential information, GCA gives them a way to avoid becoming sick (and probably dying) in their 20s or 30s. They do not get this information at home, at church, or at school.
One of the benefits of experiential education is that the learning is not noticeably learning. It is absorbed while having fun. While campers do not notice, they are really learning through activities that seem to be just fun, but have careful teaching lessons ingrained. Camp has proved itself effective for the nearly 4,000 children who have attended since January 2004. The parents and caregivers, the teachers, children, and their friends and siblings all speak of the remarkable and profound changes that have come over the campers through their participation in camp and the Kids Clubs meetings, which are bi-weekly get-togethers led by camp instructors that reinforce lessons learned at camp throughout the year.
