Transitional Empowerment Programs
STEP TWO - Grade Six
Located on a beautiful tropical three-acre property get-away in Deadman's Reef, Grand Bahama, Bahamas, our camp features complete prevention and character development programs with a Christian emphasis. Operated by Youth Care Services, Camp Deadman's Reef differs from many other camps in that both camper and parents receive a detailed personality profile which equips them to continue the growth process upon the camper's return home.
We fully recognize that misdirected kids are most likely to make major turning points in their lives when they are taken outside of their normal environment. When kids and youth are placed in non-threatening situations with peers and competent supervision, in an environment where they are able to freely express themselves and actively participate in individual and group activities, significant progress can be made in their personal development. Our program therefore provides the environment where the youth of our nation are given help in understanding themselves and relating properly to society. The camp is designed to teach self-discipline by relating to sound principles with a Christian emphasis. Throughout the five day camps for kids, campers gain a sense of self-worth and positive direction as they learn specific skills in the following areas:
-
Understanding adolescent changes
-
Developing proper study skills
-
Strengthening family communications
-
Resisting negative peer pressure
-
Developing problem-solving skills
However, no camp can be complete without having "edu-tainment" education through entertainment. We incorporate a wide range of fun activities including sporting events, fishing, roping, music and drama as effective tools in learning team building, socialization and other essential skills designed to enrich a child's personal development. Many of our Campers come from the schools in the Grand Bahama Area. For more information on our camps or the possibility of having a camp in your area please contact us. During the summer months we have churches from North America who partner with us in hosting camps here in The Bahamas. It is a wonderful tool for evangelism and cross culture training.
