A Message From The Village Session

“It takes a village to raise a child.” - African proverb This quote is the heartbeat and overarching philosophy of The Village Nation (TVN), an organization focused on empowering African American students to achieve both academically and holistically by providing a platform to take ownership of their identity, legacy, and community. This week of camp will serve as a culmination of the efforts of TVN’s efforts throughout the school year. This session of camp, aka “The Village Session”, will be a group of compassionate, open-minded and close-knit volunteers and campers who are passionate about creating a safe space together: to get to know one another, recognize the leader within themselves and have an open dialogue about shaping our community. Campers also have the opportunity to have fun and be themselves through traditional camp activities such as archery, swimming, climbing, mountain biking, hiking, and much more.
