Developing Motivation in Students
The C.O.R.E. Academy was created with the goal of providing all students with the experience and resources to achieve success throughout their lives. Developed and led by two educators who have extensive knowledge in leading youth through experiential learning, the C.O.R.E. Academy motivates and prepares students for the future.
The goals of the C.O.R.E. Academy are to develop Confidence, Ownership, Relevance, and Engagement. Located in Georgia, the camp instills hard work into kids who may be struggling at home, at school, or with other difficulties in their lives. The camp is open to students from across economic lines, with the main focus being on character development. While at the camp, students learn martial arts, experience outdoor education, complete community service projects, and create artistic projects, all designed to bring the best out in every student.
The C.O.R.E. Academy is only $300 away from reaching its $1,000 campaign tipping point! When this is achieved, C.O.R.E Academy will be able to purchase supplies for, and build, a brand new cabin for the campers to stay in. In addition, if the $4,000 total goal is reached, the C.O.R.E. Academy will be able to purchase the necessary materials for martial arts, outdoor education programs, and art projects throughout the summer. The funds will also be utilized to lead the youth in improving the campground’s lands, hiking trails, and other cabins.
Does the C.O.R.E. Academy’s vision connect with you on a personal level? Are you dedicated to this cause? Consider helping C.O.R.E. Academy reach its goals and beyond by pledging to this campaign and spreading word of this great program through your favorite social media outlets.
