Oregon's Camp Joshua: Training and Equipping Pro-Life Youth.
For the past six years, Oregon Right to Life has put on Camp Joshua for 16- to 21-year-old youth over Spring Break. The camp's motto tells it all: "Training and equipping pro-life youth to influence their peers today, becoming the pro-life leaders of tomorrow."
The teens come from all over Oregon to a retreat center and spend three days immersing themselves in information about the nuts and bolts of the life issues. Throughout their three-day/two-night stay, they are educated on stem cells, public speaking, leadership, euthanasia, post-abortion syndrome, and many other relevant topics.
This youth leadership retreat provides them with practical knowledge about how the government works, their role in and the history of the right-to-life movement, and how to start and what to do with a Teens for Life group. Sessions include "Abortion 101 and 102," "Politics Anyone?" and "Putting a Face on Abortion." Among the most popular sessions at the camp is "When They Say, You Say," training on how to respond to pro-abortion arguments.
It's not all work, though. Breaks are taken for ice-breaker games, teamwork exercises, and pro-life versions of such shows as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and The Apprentice.
