The Alcohol & Drug Abuse Council for the Concho Valley and The Concho Valley C.A.R.E.S. (Community Action and
Resources for Empowerment and Success) Coalition are hosting a 2 week Summer Youth Leadership Camp. Dates are
July 11th- July 15th and July 18th - July 22nd, 2022 from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM, daily. Camp is open to all upcoming 6th
graders through upcoming 8th graders. We also have student mentor positions available for upcoming 10th through
upcoming 12th graders. The deadline to register is July 1st.
In 2007, CV CARES formed with the mission of creating an environment that encourages the reduction of youth
substance abuse so children and families can thrive. Now a coalition of the Alcohol & Drug Abuse Council for the
Concho Valley, a nonprofit 501(c)3, CV CARES collaborates with agencies and individuals from 12 sectors of our
community.
Why Leadership Camp? Positive Leaders in the school setting are positive INFLUENCERS to everyone. These leaders help
to promote positivity in their school not only by what they do but also what they DON’T do. We want to train our youth
to be leaders so that they maintain safe and healthy relationships, seek out people and experiences that are productive
to achieving their personal goals and to say “no” to temptations that are unhealthy and unsafe.
We have an educational and fun week planned with activities revolving around college, arts, animals, our environment,
service to our community, and more!
