Class Camps and Seminars

All school camps, seminars and Father/Son camps organized by Redfield are formational activities which reinforce the teaching of virtues, in particular, the spirit of service to other people. They give everybody, who participate in these camps and seminars, the opportunity to get to know other people in greater depth. In addition, Class Camps facilitate the effectiveness of the tutorial system as they provide tutoring opportunities and assist tutors in getting to know the character of each boy in depth. Finally the nature of the camp and its location are used to provide appropriate educational experiences & activities.
