Camp Everytown is a 4-day retreat for high school youth that helps reduce stereotypes, bias and prejudice among teens creating communities of respect and appreciation.
Camp Everytown provides high school youth in Silicon Valley and Northern California with the skills to break down the barriers to participation and peer pressures that create the social isolation, misconceptions and inter-group rivalries that eventually lead to potential violent episodes on school campuses.
The curriculum focus is on experiential learning through guided activities and discussion which allows students to get to know each other on a deeper level. “Camp made me conscious of other people’s pain,” says a Camp Everytown youth alum.
Camp Everytown empowers youth to be catalysts for change breaking down racism, ethnic discrimination and intolerance in all its forms, thus helping to reduce incidents of violence in our community.
“Suspensions are lower, expulsions are lower, grades are up, kids are becoming leaders not just on campus but in the community – all of those things are happening because of Everytown.”
- Dr. Peggy Raun-Linde, Principal, Fremont High School, Sunnyvale CA
