OUR FLAGSHIP PROGRAM, CAMP RISING SUN CRS, IS AN IN-PERSON EXPERIENCE HELD EACH SUMMER IN UPSTATE NEW YORK WHERE YOUNG PEOPLE LEAD. TYPICALLY, THERE ARE TWO 4-WEEK CAMP SESSIONS - ONE FOR APPROXIMATELY 65 BOYS AND NON-BINARY YOUTHS, AND THE OTHER FOR APPROXIMATELY 65 GIRLS AND NON-BINARY YOUTHS. SELECTION IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND IS BASED ON INTELLECT DEMONSTRATED ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND AN ABILITY TO THINK CRITICALLY, CHARACTER HONESTY, COMPASSION, INTEGRITY, LEADERSHIP POTENTIAL SELF-CONFIDENCE, OPENNESS AND FAIRNESS IN DEALING WITH OTHERS, AND INDIVIDUALITY DEVELOPED ABILITIES AND INTERESTS. A SPECIAL FOCUS OF THE CAMP EXPERIENCE IS THE NURTURING OF ETHICAL LEADERSHIP SKILLS. THE ETHICAL LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE TELE IS A VIRTUAL, TWO-WEEK SUMMER PROGRAM. TWO TELE SESSIONS ARE OFFERED EACH SUMMER WITH A TOTAL OF APPROXIMATELY 60 CAMPERS PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAMS. TELE PROVIDES A SPACE FOR DISCUSSION AND LEARNING SURROUNDING THE CRS MISSION AND VALUES. WHILE THIS PROGRAM DOES NOT AIM TO SUBSTITUTE FOR THE TRADITIONAL IN-PERSON PROGRAM, THE PROGRAM SHARES MANY WELL-LOVED ASPECTS OF CAMP, INCLUDING INSTRUCTIONS, LEADERSHIP ROLES, AND A FOCUS ON CURRICULUM THAT REFLECTS THE CRS PEDAGOGY OF REFLECTION AND EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING. CAMPERS ATTEND RISING SUN PROGRAMS FOR ONLY ONE OR TWO SUMMERS. THE CRS PROGRAM IS MEANT TO SERVE AS A WATERSHED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INDIVIDUALS IDENTITY. ITS SUCCESS LIES IN ENCOURAGING IN EACH CAMPER THE FULLEST REALIZATION OF THEIR INTELLECTUAL, CULTURAL ARTISTIC, MUSICAL, AND LITERARY, HUMANISTIC AND ETHICAL CAPABILITIES. IN THE SHORTER TERM, THROUGH THE CAMP EXPERIENCE, CAMPERS CAN DEVELOP NEW SELF-AWARENESS, INCREASED SELF-CONFIDENCE, AND ENHANCED PERCEPTIONS AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORLD AROUND THEM. MANY CAMPERS DO NOT FEEL THE FULL IMPACT OF THE PROGRAM UNTIL WELL AFTER THE END OF THE CAMP SEASON.
