Camp UP – Middle East – July 2012
What will bring peace in the Middle East, and who will make it last? Regardless of politics and politicians, Ultimate Peace envisions a future in which the youth of today drive the sustainable peace of tomorrow – sharing experiences, developing relationships, building understandings, working together.
In our 3rd summer season, Ultimate Peace overnight camp will host over 200 youth from 12 Arab, Jewish, and Palestinian communities in the Middle East for two 5-day sessions.
Session 1: June 29 – July 3
Session 2: July 8 – July 12
Exciting Features of Camp UP 2012 will include:
• Training Camp – Our first session is a training camp. It will be have all the usual features of the Camp UP program: cultural sharing, non-Ultimate social activities, community-buidling, and an assortment of activities and classes. Campers who have been highly engaged in our your-round program will participate in this session, where the level of Ultimate training, conditioning, and play will be elevated.
• The second session will be our highly successful summer camp program. This will have all the features of Camp UP listed above, and will focus heavily on learning and practicing the 5 values of UP: mutual respect, integrity, friendship, non-violence, and fun.
• Both camps will have stellar local and international coaches on staff as we always. This year, our coaching staff will be made up of players from Revolver, Fury, Sockeye, Riot, and many more great teams. Their names will posted soon. Some of them will be on their way to the World Championships in Japan!
• CIT Program – This year, our Coaches in Training program will be 30 strong. Made up of 18 Middle East youth who work together on leadership all year long, and 12 International youth who will join them, they will provide support to coaches and leadership to campers. This is a very exciting component of our camp – these young leaders are the future of Ultimate Peace in the Middle East.
