SOW 204 - Camp Viva Service Intensive Experience

This course offers an experiential exploration of the impact of HIV/AIDS on families and individuals. The service-learning aspect of this course requires students to serve as camp counselors at a one-week residential camp offered in mid-late August. As volunteer counselors, students lead and participate in daily activities of a residential camp for Westchester residents infected or affected by HIV/AIDS. Academic components include preparatory readings, extensive pre-service training, on-site individual and group supervision, reflective journals, on-site lectures, a debriefing process, an integrative paper, and several classroom meetings during the fall semester. Open to all students by application and interview.
