Camp Registration

Building Understanding (BUDS)

Camp Everytown Registration

1995 Camp Delegates

Everytown is BUDS' flagship youth leadership-development program specifically designed to address and reduce prejudice and conflict, and to prepare youth to be leaders within a diverse community.

Experienced facilitators guide young people through a series of transformative dialogues, culture-sharing activities, and interactive games. The week culminates in delegates developing action plans for building understanding upon return to their schools and home communities.

Key Elements of Success:

Carefully assembled delegate cohorts break down divisive stereotypes.
Each camp has a one-to-four ratio of trained adults to youth delegates.
Everytown focuses on enhancing conflict-resolution skills, citizenship values, and interfaith and inter-cultural respect.
Alumni are encouraged to return to Everytown as trained student counselors and are provided follow-up service leadership opportunities.
Ongoing assessment, evaluation and reevaluation of curriculum are based on participant feedback.
