Music & Film Camp (August 2011)

Five days of intensive skill building & outdoor fun 

See Music & Film Camp - Summer 2011 on Vimeo for a more detailed slideshow of this camp.

Five days of focusing on music making or filmmaking, this camp brought together twenty 14-19 year olds from a variety of cultural backgrounds and welcomed in particular young people in foster care.  The inspiration of the natural environment of Exmoor National Park and being away from urban pressures and the dynamics of home life, the guidance of top artistic facilitators and the support of great youth workers, all contributed to creating a nurturing learning environment, new positive relationships and a self-supporting community. 

“One particular young man never smiles. I’ve never seen him smile. I’ve been working with for a long time, well 6 months, and I’d never seen him smile...he’s interacting with people in a much more positive way rather than being confrontational, he’s smiling and giving positive responses when he’s talked to and I think he’s got a lot out of it.”
