Camp Common Ground (CCG) is creating a world free of race and class bias. To accomplish this, CCG brings a racially and economically diverse group of middle and high school youth to its summer camp. At camp, youth learn social-emotional skills to forge meaningful relationships with youth of different race and class backgrounds. The following school year, these same youth participate in CCG’s Leadership Academy. For 8 months, they develop leadership projects that address the marginalization of underprivileged groups in their schools and communities.
