About the Camp Courage Program

Camp Courage aims to empower 20 young Slovaks aged 15-17 to become active citizens, increase their English language ability, learn more about U.S. democratic values, and offer participants the necessary life-long tools to engage in civic activism and social responsibility.

Through this unique program, Slovak teens will get the chance to understand the tools of civic activism first-hand, while augmenting their English language skills needed for our globalized world. Students will engage in six days of learning and activities designed to help them better understand how government works, what parliament does, how they can get involved in social movements and the importance of voting.
