Our first trip to Myanmar to run "Camp California" was a resounding success! This was the first ever summer camp in Myanmar and it was designed by and run by our four student leaders:
- Amy H. (Red Cloud, Age 17)
- Audrey C. (Red Cloud, Age 15)
- Kathy L. (Red Cloud, Age 14)
- Caroline H. (Red Cloud, Age 14)
There were several goals of the camp:
- Hold the first ever summer camp in Myanmar
- Show local teachers and school administrators in Myanmar the benefits and mechanics of creative, project-based learning.
- Establish and on-going relationship with local students and schools in order to further modern curriculum development and bring change to methods and content of K-12 education in Myanmar.
- Cultural exchange and immersion for our student leaders

Woohoo!! We did it! With the help of our partner 360Ed in Yangon, Myanmar, we hosted a 3 day camp program (the first of it's kind in Myanmar!) for about 25 students each day! We also got to experience the very unique water throwing ritual for the Thingyan holiday!
