A Summer Sanctuary for at-risk youth in Philadelphia
CAMP CONTINENT
CREATE a campus where Economy, Sustainability, and Education go hand in hand drawing inspiration from Global Cultures. FOSTER a World Perspective in the minds of young people and adults through the built environment. BECOME a Sanctuary for urban youth, a place of protection and positive influences. DECLARE the gospel of Jesus Christ and share His Love and Power to change lives. INTEGRATE a sense of Childlike Whimsy into the environment of the camp. PROVIDE limited amenities for Year-Round uses that benefit both the Camp and the Community at large. PRESERVE the Historical and Environmental Integrity of the land and its relationship to the Wissahickon Valley through positive human interaction with the biosphere.
