Tools 4 Life

Tools 4 Life is a career and life skills camp designed to help teenagers with the tools and confidence needed to take the next step after high school. This camp offers a unique opportunity for you to learn and grow through a variety of experiences. This year camp will be taking place on the nearby Bryn Athyn College (www.brynathyn.edu) campus from July 18 – 24, 2010.

Registration

This year's camp is full to capacity, so registration is now closed.

To be put on a wait list, please contact Laura Nash at 267-502-2412, laura.nash@brynathyn.edu.

Camp is open to incoming high school juniors, seniors, and recent graduates. The camp offers seven days of activities and workshops in a rich environment of mentoring, personal growth and networking for life. During camp, we hold workshops and activities on campus, and also visit nearby colleges and take a career day trip. Campers and counselors are housed in one of our two college dormitories and meals are included.

Camp Activities

• College campus visit to one or two area colleges – In the past we have visited Penn, Temple, Princeton, Monmouth, Haverford, Rutgers
• Off Campus Career Day – In the past we have visited places like The New York Times with Neil Genzlinger, Presbyterian Hospital with Mehmet Oz, Architecture with David Hotson
• Community Service 1/2 Day – usually working with kids in need
• Dinner/date night
• Recreational outing – Past outings have included Cirque du Soleil, Dave & Busters, Broadway shows, the New Jersey shore, hiking at Jim Thorpe, tubing down the Delaware

We try to incorporate a new element each year. Usually this takes the form of leadership activities such as "The Interview" or "The Game of Life."
