Theme:
Life and Love in Islands
Background:
The implementation
of a camp of this nature is being spearheaded
by the Ambassadors of Cayon High (past students)
ably guided by the motto 'With us a new chapter
begin' and is geared toward providing varied opportunities
for students of the Cayon High School of a lower

experience camp life.
- To share and gain knowledge
with their peers on current issues that directly
affect their way of life.
- To be Ambassadors for their
class and school in general.
- To have fun in a learning
environment.
- To teach youth the importance
of a quality education, community building and
the value of volunteering.
Activities:
- Participants will be selected by the Guidance
Counseling Department of Cayon High. The selection
process is expected to result in 2 students from
each class which would give a total of (50) fifty
participants.
- Conduct training sessions
in career development, volunteering, HIV/AIDS,
and lifeskills development;
- Ensure that each participant
makes a commitment to a volunteer project to be
carried out in the 4 months following the training
sessions; - Organize a short follow-up meeting
4 months after the training sessions to share
information on the volunteer activities conducted;
- Evaluate the impact of
the project by
(a) conducting a questionnaire/survey before the
start of the training sessions and repeating it
at the end of the project and analysing the results,
and
(b) analysing the number and nature of the volunteer
projects carried out;
- Undertake publicity and
promotional activities to include newspapers,
radio and television;
- Provide photographs and
at least 60 minutes un-edited video footage of
