Indeed there is truth in the saying, “A small child shall lead…”. For our youth is our next generation of leaders and citizens for our vision of a progressive society. They will be the future trendsetters, decision makers, prime movers and change agents. Yet the youth is also a very big part of the present. They can effectively do something relevant with the community if given the chance to. If you look at the eyes of the young, you see so much abundance and potential for today and tomorrow.

It only takes so much to provide our youth with the right soil to grow their talents and interests and a good environment to cater to their needs. This is what our future hope of generation need to effectively prepare them for the task that lay before them.

Kurt Hahn, when he pioneered outdoor adventure program, had the youth in mind. He believed that they should be given the kind of education that would give them opportunities for personal leadership and for them to see the results of their actions, so that their inherent abilities will not be corrupted by the society. 1 According to YMCA.org2, outdoor education is beneficial because it creates in children a hunger for learning (that is, more questions are asked, rather than more answers are given) and to overcome adversity, and work alongside others.

Based on these theory and researches, Frontiertrainings Inc. has created the module for Children’s Summer Camp with specially designed components to not only cater to the natural playfulness of children but also give them life skills they can use as they slowly tackle the modern world on their own.

The Bantayan Kabataan Summer Adventure Summer Camp aims to foster the young person's progress in both personal and team leadership. The major components of personal leadership are the development of:

Self-Awareness, which gives them a chance to discover & appreciate their talents and capabilities.

Self Esteem, which will foster confidence and acceptance of one's self (external attributes, tendencies, preferences)

Team Leadership include the development of:
Leadership, which will give them the opportunity to master skills like team work, decision-making and problem-solving.

Interpersonal Skills, where they will be able to uncover and practice the skills for building effective social relationships involving empathy, sensitivity to the needs of others and effective communication to interact with other children

Good Citizenship, which will develop in the children love of country and social accountability through small heroic deeds.

At the end of the 2-day camp, we do not promise that the children are already great leaders. But we give the assurance that after the camp, these children will not only have better sense of who they are, what their dreams are and what they are able to achieve, but also children who are equipped with tools to enable them to keep learning and growing. Because the modern world is not looking for the individual with the highest IQ, but the individual who never tires of seeking for improvement for self and society.
