  Atlantic Ecotopia

 A Hands on, Environmentally focused youth gathering
 for youth that want to change their community and their world!

 What would it be like to live in an environment that was ecologically
sustainable and in a community that was socially just? That question will
be explored this summer during an intensive, creative camp, named Ecotopia,
where youth who are committed to making positive social and environmental
changes in their communities will gather.

 The camp will involve 40 Maritime youth from diverse communities and
backgrounds. During the camp they will attempt to live a sustainable
lifestyle. By eating only locally produced food and consuming only local,
sustainable materials  participants will prove that a sustainable way of
life is possible. Ecotopia will be focused on Education, by using the
participants knowledge and help from community mentors and experts in the
field we will empower our selves and show that youth can and will make
positive change in our communities.

 HeartWood is committed to ensuring that our programs are available to all
youth in Nova Scotia. In order to accomplish this we have created a
scholarship fund. Please feel free to inquire at our office for details.
 Ages: 14-24
 Dates: August 19-25
 Cost: $175
