SYCA Youth Camping Program aims to give young Cambodians opportunity to have fun, going on a pleasure trip, making new friends, doing some enjoyable activities, and at the same time, getting their hands on working together for the society.
They will be set up to go right to slump areas in Sihanouk Ville and meet with the local children, who are mostly not very well-educated and live in a really bad, impoverished condition. Participants will get to do activities that are meant to encourage those children to consider and use education as an effective tool to lead themselves towards a healthier and more worthwhile life. Hopefully, presence of the camp participants is of some inspirations to those kids, building a more motivated spirit in them—the spirit that drives them to get more out of their lives.
Helping the others is not the only thing focused on in this camp, though. A variety of activities will be arranged simply for participants to enjoy themselves. Together young people will spend some time creating memorable moments out of various activities, from just chatting and sharing experience with each other to playing games on the beach and touring parts of Sihanouk Ville. Through this simple interaction, special bonds, which are believed to help generate and strengthen solidarity and cooperation, will be made among youth.
Venue: Sept 13-14th, 2008 (M'lop Tapang, Sihanouk Ville)

What's SYCA?
Sunburst Youth Camp Alumni Cambodia is a group of some active Cambodian youth who, once in their lives, have joined the annual Sunburst Youth Camp in Singapore. At that international event, having seen the prosperity of Singapore, we have desired to see same development made in Cambodia. For this reason, SYCA Cambodia was set up early this year to gather all the alumni to come and work together for the sake of our society. We envision a unified Cambodian society full of active youth with strong cooperation and solidarity, which will create a better environment for the nation’s own prosperity. To this end, we set up this volunteer youth camp to bring youth together and integrate them into social activities. The camp of interaction and collaboration among youth under the theme “Together, For Our Society” will somehow inspire youth to be more active and enthusiastic in social volunteer activities.
