CAMPER APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR 2021

Summer camp is your chance to join the conversation and join the Heart to Heart community.

Camp is a  chance to see the world in a new way, by getting out of your comfort zone.   Heart to Heart focuses on personal growth, relationship building, and facilitated dialogue. 
​

• Participate in the Heart to Heart experiential education core curriculum 
• Build strong intercultural relationships,  bringing your whole self to the table
• Live in shared accommodations and discover how to live together with trust and respect in an intercultural context

At camp, we will talk openly about the narratives, power dynamics, and politics shaping our lives. You will have the chance to share your perspective,  identity and narrative and hear from your peers about theirs. You will  learn the building blocks for respectful communication and engaging in constructive conflict.  

You will leave the program with new perspectives, relationships and tools to navigate difficult conversations, tensions and conflict with greater skill and confidence. 

What is different this year?

Due to COVID-19 and  ongoing travel restrictions to Canada, summer camp 2021 will be taking place  locally.

​While you won't be flying to a new country, you will have a chance to live away from home and  in a new intercultural community throughout the program. 

Although we won't be running camp at Camp Shomria this summer, we are hope to create  opportunities to connect with both Canadian campers and with the broader Canadian community that loves and supports Heart to Heart.

• Required participation in  preparation meetings before camp ( July)
• 10    days of camp that will change your life (August 1 - 10 )
• Required participation in post-camp family programming (Dates in August to be determined*)
