See the Documentary That
Parents Everywhere are Talking About - Race To Nowhere
|
 | Race to Nowhere is a
documentary film examining the pressures faced by youth, teachers and parents
in our achievement obsessed education system and culture. Featuring the
heartbreaking stories of young people who have been pushed to the brink,
educators who are burned out and worried students aren't developing the skills
needed, and parents who are trying to do what's best for their kids, Race to
Nowhere points to the silent epidemic running rampant in our schools.
To learn more about
the film and see the times and locations for 6 upcoming Northern California
screenings, visit: www.racetonowhere.com. |

Mountaineers and CITs to
Focus on Service Projects in Their Own Homes, Schools and Communities
|
We are excited to
announce some important changes to the CIT and Mountaineer Programs for 2010. Earlier this year, Don and Scott
Whipple met with the founder of a program called Mental Karate, noted author
and educator Mawi Asegedom. They
were so impressed by his ideas that they decided to bring his program to
Mountain Camp. Mental Karate takes
Character Development to a new level by inspiring children to take specific
Character Actions in their own homes, schools and communities. Our campers will learn this simple,
structured, action-oriented system to help them develop initiative, discipline,
contribution, courage and awareness.
In the past, CITs and
Mountaineers have participated in service projects at Mountain Camp that
benefited our camp communities.
This year, these campers will focus on designing community service
projects to implement after they return home. Our program leaders will help campers create and plan these
Character Actions. During the year we will follow up with them to be sure these
ideas are implemented and to track the success.
