Summer Means Youth Camps

It was summer time once again and Forest Club played host to several camps for youth groups.

First was the Children and Migration Youth Workshop organized by Asia Acts last 4 to 6 April 2009. It was a workshop specifically designed for children of Overseas Filipino Workers.

Asia Acts or Asia Against Child Trafficking is a regional organization based in the Philippines whose goal is to empower communities to take proactive measures to protect children.

Camp C.O.P.E. '09 was also held in the Forest Club last 30 April to 3 May 2009. Camp C.O.P.E. or Children Overcoming Diabetes Problems Everywhere is organized by the Philippine Center for Diabetic Education Foundation, Inc. and targets the youth between 7 and 17 years old who are insulin dependent. 

The AY Foundation also held a summer camp for its scholars last 5 to 7 May 2009. The Foundation has had more than 7,000 scholars since 1970, mostly street children, members of indigenous communities and deserving dependents of YGC employees. 

Other youth groups that used Forest Club as a venue for their summer camps were the International Christian Academy last 1 to 3 April 2009, the Narra Girls' Club last 27 to 29 April 2009 and the PEPPI-Kabataan Public High School Girls Club last 23 April 2009.
