Program

The Highlander Children's Justice Camp is the first step in The Young and the Restless program. Now in its 20th year, the camp offers a unique week of summer fun and self-discovery for campers 7 through 12 years of age. It also serves as a catalyst in encouraging our young campers to choose a life of social justice activism.

Children's Justice Camp, Summer 2002.

The Children's Justice Camp is located on our 106 acre farm near New Market, Tennessee, and is intended primarily for children whose families are active in working for social justice and democratic participation, especially in Appalachia. It provides an opportunity for learning multi-culturally, bringing together children from different races, nations, classes, and geographies for a week of fun, sharing, and learning. Our goal is to help instill in each child a sense of responsibility, a desire for self-reflection, and a passion for loving all humans.

We ask parents to participate as well by donating a minimum of 4 hours per child to help make the camp successful. Additionally, we are always interested in volunteers to conduct, assist, or give ideas for classes (on social and environmental issues, arts and crafts, science and nature studies, etc.).
