Also, a group meeting is held each month for all of the participants. Group activities include college student panels, visits to local universities and Internet access computer labs. Parents are encouraged to participate and become involved in the planning process. The tutoring occurs at night and, in addition to English, workers can be taught basic adjustment skills or citizenship information. The camp is housed in a small college where the students stay in dorms and use the cafeteria, recreation facilities and classrooms.
Participants form teams of five students with one senior and one junior counselor.
Daily activities and elective sessions emphasize whole and small group interaction among the participants and the presenters. There are two follow up retreats during the next academic year. The student participants also work closely with local MEP staff to meet their short term goals for the year.
