Or if you want to build an exemplary learning laboratory using green architecture... You will want to come to our camp volunteer meeting to learn more about getting involved in a camp program for kids that provides great rewards for adults.
Camp Dos Cabezas Planning Meeting
(for prospective volunteers and partner organizations)
2pm, Saturday, August 6, 2011
Houston Institute for Culture [MAP]
708-C Telephone Road, Houston TX 77023
A great camp experience can make a big difference in a child's life. We started Camp Dos Cabezas in 2004 for children who would not otherwise have the opportunity to have such a great adventure. The personal development and educational benefits for marginalized children are too many to count.
By utilizing the resources of national parks and educational institutions, the camp has provided meaningful experiences for many children over the years. We plan to extend its positive impact by creating a permanent site for the camp in northern New Mexico.
We need the help of many people to realize the new plan for the youth camp.
If you care about the futures of at-risk children, or if you have interest or expertise in sustainable, low environmental impact building, you will find the camp program can benefit you as much as its young participants it serves.
Please join us for a meeting at 2pm on Sunday, January 30 at Houston Institute for Culture to learn more about the future plans for Camp Dos Cabezas. The meeting should last about one hour and will cover the potential uses and plans for the permanent camp facility.
In addition to individual volunteers, we will seek partner organizations to increase the number of children who benefit from the camp. Several plans are being considered, but ultimately the plan that is developed will allow us to maximize its benefits for children and share access to the camp with more individuals and organizations.
PLANNED MEETING AGENDA
The camp process and benefits to children
Access to camp for additional populations
Logistical issues faced by the camp
Proposed plans for growth
Research needs as plans are developed
Goals and strategies to establish the camp
Please let us know if you have any questions.
