Summer Camp Overview
Based in Randolph, Vermont, the focus of G.E.M.S is a one-week intensive leadership camp for middle school students Primarily from Brookfield, Braintree, and Randolph but reaching all central Vermont as well.
?
During the camp week, participants engage with each other, develop skills as leaders, and learn how to engage in and impact their community. They participate in activities and presentations led by community leaders and role models, connect with community service organizations, practice group problem solving, and learn discussion skills. Students plan a hike and campout, which is a first for many of our participants! Personal reflection at the beginning and end of the intensive week offers participants a chance to reflect while revealing their growth. Camp scholarships are available so that G.E.M.S can fulfill its goal to reach students from all socioeconomic backgrounds.
?
GEMS offers students the chance to be immersed in peer support, act silly without judgment, participate in intelligent discussions about what it means to be a student and a community member, learn leadership skills, and engage in community service.




Details
Both camps will embrace components that work to develop, build and strengthen self-concept in each camper. We will have guest speakers, outdoor games, alternative field trip locations, volunteer work in our community, and group activities that give campers opportunities to explore, learn and grow!
