This webinar explores how camps can create transformative character development experiences by embracing culturally responsive-sustaining approaches. Participants will discover how character formation happens most effectively when camp environments affirm diverse cultural identities while fostering growth across lines of difference.
The session examines character as a dynamic dialogue between self and world. Rather than viewing character as a fixed set of universal virtues, we'll explore how camps can honor the cultural assets campers bring while developing critical thinking skills, empathy, and social consciousness. Participants will learn practical strategies for building inclusive communities that sustain rather than diminish cultural identities, and developing programming that empowers campers as agents of positive social change.
AUDIENCE:
This webinar is designed for camp directors, program coordinators, counselors, and youth development professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of culturally responsive practices in character education.
