Empowerment & Compassion Retreat: A Social Justice Youth Camp
Friday, Jul. 25, 6:00 pm until Sunday, Jul. 27, 1:00 pm
Youth who have completed 6th to 12th Grade (in the 2024-2025 School Year)+ Adult Sponsors*
*Each youth attending must attend with a sponsor. Multiple youth are able to have the same sponsor.
CCIW requires all adults working with youth to submit a background check (at our cost). Additionally, the state of Illinois requires all adults working with youth to complete a Mandated Reporter Training which can be completed online at no charge by visiting mr.dcfstraining.org. Registered Sponsors will receive information about these two requirements via email.
The Empowerment and Compassion Retreat is a Social Justice weekend Camp intended to ignite passion and inspire action for a better world. All CCIW & CCMR Youth are invited to join us in workshops, interactive discussions, and hands-on activities as we explore together connections of faith and issues affecting the livelihood of our communities. Our camp strives to foster a supportive environment where every voice is heard and valued. Join us for a transformative experience where young minds build lifelong friendships and gain the skills and confidence to create positive change in the world around them while enjoying fun activities and fellowship offered by Walter Scott Camp & Learning Center,
