Friends Ending Suicide Together
Program: The first couple of days were focused on the support and training for our Teen Leaders. After training, our Teen Leaders act as Counselor Assistants for our younger campers. Utilizing the magic of camp, teens build powerful bonds through intentional, hands-on adventure education. Experiences included whitewater rafting, horseback riding, mountain biking, rock climbing, and hiking to a mountain summit. Participants dedicated this hike to someone. “Life is full of mountains. Some we climb alone. Some we climb together. There’s many that would give up if they didn’t have a friend to lend a hand.” At Camp Jojo we summit together - ready to help others conquer their challenging peaks. The other half of the week was enriched with workshops and learning opportunities designed to give teens the confidence, knowledge and inspiration to help others.
Staff: Our staff is composed of a licensed therapist, mental health intern, Medical Doctor, Social Worker, Camp Director, Registrar, Program Director and several 21+ year old counselors. With our Teen Leaders we aim to have a 1:1 ratio staff to teen.
