RED CROSS YOUTH CHALLENGE 2014

Hi guys, the signups for RCYC 2014 is now open,

The Annual Red Cross Youth Challenge (RCYC) camp is here once again.

This year’s RCYC – The Red Race (Youth on the Move) emphasizes on the importance of being a leader with a heart to serve the community. Aligning with Values-in-Action (VIA), we hope to inculcate values in our Youth Leaders through the theme Ready, Render and Reflect and, to engage, enable and empower them through the series of activities which the participants will be exposed to during the camp.

The Red Race aspires to build an active network for youths to promote and portray the collective spirit of graciousness and care. It will provide a platform and support the youths’ compassion for community. Youths will also be acquainted to real challenges and needs at the community level throughout the camp.

Aims and Objectives of RCYC 2014

Ì  To promote service, resilience and teamwork amongst participants
Ì  To inspire Youths to be The Catalyst For Change
Ì  To promote interaction and foster friendships among youths from different backgrounds, and to provide our student leaders to have an international outlook.
Ì  To allow participants to challenge themselves beyond their limits
Ì  To create opportunities for experiential learning and leadership development
Ì  To imbue Youths with the spirit of compassion, care, volunteerism
Ì  To launch Community Led Action for Resilience – Elderly (CLARE)
Ì  To establish the Red Cross Club

Delegates from the National Societies within the Asia Pacific region will be invited to participate in this Challenge.  These delegates will team up with your cadets to travel across several destinations in Singapore where they will partake in a series of survival-skill challenges and discoveries.

During the Cultural Night, they will be able to better appreciate and understand the cultural differences of other National Societies through exhibitions and performances. The camp will reach its climax during the Campfire, when all the campers will have a good time with songs, dance and cheers. Parents will also be invited down to join in the fun during the Campfire.

In line with the objectives to foster a spirit of compassion and care amongst the community, for the community, SRC will also be launching the Community Led Action for Resilience – Elderly (CLARE) programme, which aims to establish an active community based volunteer corps through a formal community network.
