Team names, song/chants and team rules will be established and team reflection and reviews carried out after each activity. Certificates will be given at the end of camp.

Community Action

DURATION: 1 Day

Research has shown that it’s not just the person on the receiving end who benefits – doing good feels good for the person ‘doing good’, too! It increases our happiness, satisfaction and self-esteem.

Students will have the opportunity to experience this firsthand through a half-day facilitated workshop that will equip them with the tools and strategies needed to motivate and inspire others toward positive change. By focusing on personal development and self-improvement, students will learn how to plan and take principled action that can make a real difference, not just for themselves, but for our planet and humanity as a whole.

This is an exciting chance to harness the power of kindness and empathy, while also enhancing one's own well-being and sense of purpose. Join us for an uplifting and transformative experience that will leave you feeling inspired and empowered to make a meaningful impact on the world around you.

Crossroads Experience

The half day, Crossroads Global X-perience will enable students to embark on a journey that promises to leave a lasting impact.

During this transformative program, students will have the chance to take a few small steps in the shoes of those in need, and through this deeply moving experience, they will gain a profound understanding of the challenges faced by vulnerable communities. The impact of this experience is often so powerful that it serves as a clarion call to act and make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

We believe that this unique opportunity will not only equip students with a first-hand knowledge of the issues faced by our global society, but also inspire them to become agents of positive change in the world. We invite you to join us as we work to make a difference within our local and global communities.
