It is designed to take the rebellious, selfish, undisciplined, defiant, or unmotivated youth and strip him or her of old defenses, attitudes, and facades. Rules are enforced and time is very structured. No free time is allotted, and each youth is directed, taught, encouraged, confronted, and held accountable for his or her actions. Students begin to work on goals and are required to complete them before they can move to the next level in the program. This phase also takes place at Roundy Camp, but allows a little more freedom and choice.
Daily activities are very routine.
No longer can the teens take for granted the necessities of life that parents provide. Each youth is assigned daily chores and responsibilities, and stringent daily personal hygiene standards are not only encouraged but enforced. Roundy Camp is physically and mentally challenging, but very rewarding. It is frustrating, but enlightening. And most important, it establishes a foundation of discipline, respect, and orderliness.
