Encourage youth for creative expression to find conflict solution, collaborate with peers, accountability and trust. To strengthen their confident of goal setting and decision making through the camp activities and team-building.
[edit] History:
Founded a few years ago, CYLC aimed to help each of its campers find the leader within him/herself. Strongly encouraging change from within, CYLC emphasizes the motto: "The heart is like a tree, it grows where it wishes." Providing a positive environment, CYLC hopes to provide each of its campers the opportunities to step out of his or her shell and just have some fun be it in learning to ballroom dance (where learning to lead and follow is key) or more practically, its etiquette class where campers learn the ins and outs of "acceptable" behavior from dining to dating. And these are only a few of the many classes campers experience.
