DOES YOUR DISTRICT HAVE A MASONIC YOUTH PROGRAM?
If not, your district can do this, too. All it takes is an understanding of the best location for the program to succeed and a team of dedicated adults willing to work hard. If your district has that and would like to get started, contact Brother Joseph Pullin at JAPullin@pmyf.org, and we will help you bring a Masonic youth organization to your district.
The overnight camp includes a full curriculum aimed at providing encouragement and fun, as well as opportunities to connect, discover and learn. Discussions will focus on:
• Communicating effectively when faced with challenging situations
• Standing up for oneself, while remaining kind
• Developing interpersonal strength in order to be authentic and positive in various situations
• Setting positive, appropriate personal boundaries
• Fostering healthy relationships
• Utilizing social media in a positive way
• Exploring goal setting and future aspirations
• Identifying one’s unique strengths and how to share them with the world
• Being comfortable with oneself, alone and with others
Participants will have full access to the conference center’s recreational facilities, including an indoor pool, indoor gym/basketball court, media center, cafeteria and more. Interactive games, projects and hands-on activities, including a scavenger hunt, charades, relay races, board game/make-your-own sundae night, popcorn and movie night, yoga, origami and puzzles, will offer opportunities to practice self-assessment and other skills learned in group discussions.
The cost is $150, with assistance available. For more information on the curriculum, what to bring and how to register, visit pmyf.org/girls-leadership-camp
