Are you ready to change the world?
The Terra Firma Summer Camp at Vallarta Botanical Gardens offers campers ages 13-17 the opportunity to spend the summer discovering new possibilities for the world we live in.
At the Vallarta Botanical Gardens you will explore our environment (including plants, insects, animals and rivers), share stories, create new ones, learn about the challenges of our future and how we can shape it, all while building friendships that will last a lifetime.
As part of our interactive learning experience we will provide a theatric performance based on our discoveries. Venue and date of the performance to be announced during camp.
Today, the world is more connected than ever before. Yet as we grow closer, we have seen a rise in disputes over land, money, natural resources, culture, and religion. These conflicts have a direct impact on all of our lives, affecting us personally, professionally - in our families, communities, and businesses.
In order to create a more peaceful future – one that nurtures global understanding and compassion, while eliminating strife and alienation – it is vital to support the next generation of leaders in honing their voices and visions.
We believe that peaceful negotiation, global leadership, and ethical culture is best learned through hands-on experience in the natural world around us. By providing adolescents the opportunity to explore our ecosystem, the science of agriculture, and theater art, campers are able to shed previously held stereotypes and gain valuable knowledge about social, political, economic, and global relations.
Summer Camp tuition is only 3,300 pesos per camper for 4 weeks of fun and learning and will begin on Monday, July 16 at 9:00 am and end on Friday, August 10 at 7:00 pm.
A limited number of scholarships are also available (please contact the Camp Director about scholarship opportunities). Applications are due no later than Friday, June 1st at 5:00 pm.
