Thank you so much to everyone who came to make magic with us at Action Camp 2022!
Each August, Youth Services partners with the Illinois Safe Schools Alliance, a program of Public Health Institute of Metropolitain Chicago to host Action Camp, a 5-day sleepaway camp that brings together young leaders from GSAs and youth groups across the state to learn from one another and shape the safer schools movement. Action Camp is a space often described as “magical” where youth are able to see their identities reflected back at them, sharpen their critical lens, strengthen their own anti-oppressive frameworks and actively skill-share and practice what it means to create spaces in the world where all identities are safe, supported, affirmed and celebrated. Action Camp is open to youth leaders who are rising 8th graders through rising Seniors in high school.
Questions can be directed to actioncamp@phimc.org.
