Giraffe schools and camps

[admin]

Are you looking for a giraffe school or camp? If you share what you're looking for and we'll try to help.

Do you know about giraffe schools or camps that you would like to share with others? We are creating a comprehensive database that will support people to quickly find a school or camp in their area. This database will be posted here on this page in the next few months. Please let us know a little bit about the school or camp, the location, age range, web address, and contacts, and we'll happily spread the word. When you enter your information below it will be immediately posted to the forum.

Would you like to celebrate a wonderful experience you had at a giraffe school or camp? We'd love to hear your story.

There are 2 NVC retreats I am working with in July that are planning to have a youth programs: the New York Intensive, http://2011.newyorkintensive.org/  and the NVC and Diversity Retreat: http://diversity.learnnvc.org/.   I hope you might be able to join one of these learning opportunities! I plan to bring Giraffe Juice to both and would love your help in sharing it.

Here's a camp that I really recommend:

The people behind Play in the Wild live NVC.

I went to the camp in Wales, UK - but most of their camps are in the US.

I hope that someone resonates with what they offer.

I also recommend the Findhorn Foundation in Scotland, UK. It's a really loving community in a special place. You can find out more here: http://www.findhorn.org/

I'm there right now on a NVC week course!!
