PROGRAM PROPER

This proposed program for young adoloscent fathers would cater to a whollistic integration of new learnings about this life-changing experience for them of being expectant new fathers.

ACTIVITY THEME:
1 week summer camp

QUALIFIED PARTICIPANTS:
15- 21 year old adolescent fathers of middle to lower societal class.

ACTIVITIES:
1.) 5- day Sportsfest (daily from 7 am- 12nn)
Participants would be divided into 6 teams, with 10 members each (in random order). They would participate in outdoor and indoor sports such as wall climbing, basketball and volleyball as well as various Filipino games. This would strengthen camaraderie among young adolescent fathers so that they'll be able to learn how to deal and open up with new people.

2.) 2- day Electronic and Craft Making Crash Course ( 2- 5 pm)
This activity would encourage the young adolescent fathers to venture into entrepreneurship by acquiring new skills that would help them do so. Having to support a child, these young fathers must be able to produce income sans a college diploma, and this crash course may help them.

3.) 3- day Refresher on Basic Academic Subjects ( 2-5 pm)
Subjects such as science, mathematics and english would be incorporated during the summer camp so that the young fathers could be refreshened of what possibly they might have missed in school due to circumstances of life events. Students would be grouped according to their respective age groups to ensure the right academic level. The summer camp also aims to re assess the value of going to school, and understanding its importance.

4.) 5- day Individual Night Counseling
The Night Counseling would be facilitated by volunteer pyschologists. This would take place after dinner, at 8pm until 10 pm. All participants are required to meet their respective psychologists assigned to them. When done, participants are required to do a written activity about their thoughts on the day's what-abouts.

5.) 2- day Reflection and Values Renewal
The last two days in summer camp would be dedicated for the young adolescent fathers to have a venue to renew their values through series of talks from experienced individuals and group activities. The young fathers would be given ample time for reflection. A mass would be provided during the afternoon (before the Night Camp Bonding), but it would not be mandatory.

6.) Last Night Camp Bonding
The last night would be dedicated for the young fathers and camp volunteers to enjoy with dinner, sports fest awarding ceremony and closing ceremonies. A large bonfire would be provided.
