Burry Heights Camp and Retreat Centre

À propos de l'organisation

Burry Heights is an outdoor adventure camp surrounded by nature. At this weekly sleep-away camp (Sunday to Friday) campers will take part in a range of activities, such as arts and crafts, hiking, canoeing, archery, and swimming. Each day, campers participate in Reflections/Vespers (spiritual fellowship activities), small group activities (rotated on a schedule), full group/team-based activities, and a nightly campfire. Our mandate is to “enrich and develop the lives of youth through the camping experience”. As a United Church Camp, we have daily reflection sessions that allow campers to consider their own lifestyle, to learn more about good morals and how to be a kind and compassionate person. We are a “technology free” camp, meaning no campers are allowed to have personal technological devices (mp3 players, smartphones, video games, tablets, etc.) with them at camp. Paid counsellors at our organization are responsible for the 24-hour supervision of campers (aged 9-15), planning daily activity sessions, for both small and large groups of campers, as well as the basic upkeep of the building.

Youth Climate Court of Newfoundland & Labrador

sans but lucratif
The Youth Climate Court of Newfoundland & Labrador is a non-profit organization that calls for the accountability of city and county governments that are not adequately addressing the climate crisis. The YCC-NL is mainly comprised of young people whose rights are being most dramatically impacted by climate change.  The YCC will call the city or county government to court for failing to protect the basic human rights of their citizens with youth judges, youth prosecuting attorneys and youth jury members to put their local city or county government on trial for not living up to its human rights obligations. Youth leaders will then organize a trial and summon members of that government to attend and explain themselves in open Youth Court against charges that that government is failing to adequately protect the basic human and constitutional rights of its citizens, in face of the threats of climate change.
