Community Advocacy and Mentorship Program s (CAMP) Life Skills Retreat WHAT IS THIS? The Pediatric AIDS Coalition (PAC) at UCLA puts on a Life Skills Retreat for students around the country to participate in a weekend long event that is catered to provide a space for young adults to grow and learn new skills that will help them in all aspects of their life. This retreat is coordinated and ran by current UCLA students who are apart of CAMP. We will also have at least one therapist during the weekend where students can schedule a one-on-one time if they would like. The goal of this retreat is to address every aspect of the student s life now and their future endeavors. This includes but is not limited to; mental/physical health, money management, college applications, preparing for job interviews, grants/scholarships, HIV 101 and more. EXPECTATIONS: CAMP s Life Skills retreat is designed so that students not only have a fun weekend but also have the opportunity to gain knowledge and advice on the many challenges students will face as they become a young adult. We are going to have a blast, but we are also going to have some very serious moments. CAMP has set forth expectations to ensure the safety and well-being of the student, which will allow them to get the most of Life Skills as possible. We expect everyone to respect the privacy of the cabins, use proper language, and treat everyone with respect. The use or possession of weapons, drugs, or alcohol are strictly prohibited at all times. Individual and group activities will provide a time for introspection and personal growth. This is a time for the students to focus on themselves. WHERE: Pali Mountain Retreat Center in Running California 30778 Highway 18, Running Springs, CA 92382 WHEN: Morning of February 18 to mid-day of the 20th
