CAMP JOURNEY 2010


Club Journey Volunteers Inc. is hosting its 6th Summer Camp for special children this coming April 8 - 17, 2010. This is called CAMP JOURNEY. The organization will bring to Paete, Laguna 200 special children and volunteers from all over Luzon to participate in the said activity.

Wow! 6th summer camp! I remember the time when we were still in the "planning stage" and everyone was so busy doing their own thing.... Di magkatugma-tugma ang mga schedules... But, here we are... on our 6th summer camp... and still counting!

We started in 2005 at Imus, Cavite. Then, we had 2006 at Lipa City. Our third camp was in Lucena City (2007) followed by Sta. Maria Bulacan in 2008, and Iba, Zambales in 2009. These camps were all unique and and has its peculiar stories to tell.

Each camp aims to provide a fun and educational venue for special children to do things that they don't commonly do at home or in their institutions. It also aims to educate the community on how to deal with the special children... that they, too, can be a productive member of the community.

We made it our policy that the bulk of our participants will come from the host town and/or province. We coordinate with the local DSWD and SPED schools to ensure that there will be enough locals that will benefit from this project.

In preparation for our camp, we are recruiting volunteers from different schools and organizations in Metro Manila. They will attend a special volunteer training course. We have also a shorter training program for the local volunteers. It's a 3 days training prior to the camp. All of these activities will prepare them for their upcoming responsibilities when they join the camp proper.


Our Salute to the Volunteers!!!

Our organization is nothing without the help of our volunteers!!! Ang bawat camp ay pagpupugay sa lahat ng volunteers ng Club Journey! As we count our years in helping and touching people, we have tons of volunteers to thank! Each of them are like "bricks on the road" that made our journey a lot easier!

Maraming Salamat sa inyong lahat at hanggang sa muli!



We want your help.

We encourage everyone to find time to help us pursue our objectives. We need you to make this possible. If you have some extras like cash, time, talents, foods, etc. to share to these children most especially this coming summer camp, please feel free to help.

Thank you very much and see you @ CAMP JOURNEY 2010!
