Every year, CEDAR Summer camp provides an opportunity for 45 local Aboriginal youth between the ages of 8-12 to explore UBC campus through fun and interactive programming. For the last week in July, campers get a whirlwind tour of the wild and wacky research being conducted by students and researchers around campus. They also take part in daily arts & crafts and outdoor recreational activities. All the while, campers learn about the wealth of post-secondary educational opportunities that exist right in their own backyard. CEDAR programming focuses on balance and respecting the spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical parts of ourselves. Activities will focus on confidence building, teamwork, and self-reflection to help campers realize their own potential both within and outside of the classroom. There are also opportunities for Aboriginal youth to volunteer in this program!
This year Cedar camp will run for one week from July 20th to the 25th at the University of BC.
