Sustainability Camp Curriculum

Overview

Sustainability Camp seeks to provide young people with the skills to take initiative in their own lives and communities.

The curriculum for “Sustainability Camp” has been developed with a vision of delivering a 6-day camp for grade 5, 6 and 7 students. The goal of the camp is to increase youth knowledge and awareness about the global ecological crisis, with the hope that this increased awareness will help moderate the behaviour of future generations and inspire political action for positive environmental and social change.

The curriculum is outlined in a series of 3-hour blocks. These blocks can be adapted for shorter youth programs on request. The “Program Flow” (PDF) document is a recommended sequence for these blocks for a 6-day camp.
