Our Mission

Campers will be taught to use the power of love to overcome whatever challenge may arise in their life through their participation in varying recreational, educational, artistic and sporting activities. The values of humility, patience, respect, tolerance, perseverance, kindness, courage and forgiveness will be reinforced using as their moral compass the tested and proven worth of truth and justice.

The Mission:

The Mission of CTW is to provide the atmosphere and mentors conducive to enhance the values of humility, love, and respect for others and the creation. This mission will be accomplished by the camp providing the campers the opportunities to observe, and internalize positive behaviors.

The Need:

Many would wonder how this all started or how it came to all of this. It started from 12 years old or 11, and the lifestyle just grew rapidly into many criminal behavior, and prison taught me well – positive and negative…¹

To prevent more cases like Cedric “Doggie” Murray, a recently killed gang member on the police’s most wanted list, we need to invest in our youth. Our youth need a good moral base. They need mentors to help guide them. We need to reinforce the re-socialization of our youth. Camps are a good way to do this. There is a general demand for recreational and leadership training and creative learning in Jamaica. Several religious groups visit Jamaica as “work-teams”, their focus “giving back to the communities”.

The focus of CTW will be different and will target others, especially the Jamaican Diaspora.
