Youths and Sports

The centre runs a youth service with after-school and weekend clubs for around 100 school and college students, summer youth camps. The youth services are tied in with the services of the centre and meet regularly to discuss issues affecting them, ranging from drugs awareness sessions, to issues identified through advice and education services.

Day-Mer Youth Camp

Day-Mer has organised youth camps for many years now and can proudly say they have almost nailed it to be perfect. The camp itself helps to unite the youth to come together to inform and learn about the past, present and future. The camp consists of many events, activities and outings put together. Some of the outings include going to the sea side, theme park, mountain biking possibly and more possibly depending on the surrounding area. We have meetings which address young peoples problems in London and its surrounding neighborhoods e.g. family problems, education problems, bullying etc. We run small focused meetings for different age groups. We also have our own camp magazine called Camp Fire (Kamp Atesi) which gets released daily early in the morning containing the camp diary, jokes section, interviews etc. The best bit about the camp is meeting new people, making new friends, sharing and finding solutions to each others problems and being one big nice smelling family . Some of the activities we run are Folk Dancing for beginners and the know it all Camp TV production (creating and editing a group sketch or short film) Salsa for beginners, table tennis competitions, mini football tournament, volleyball tournament, swimming and drama for the talented young actors, painting for all ages, camp newspaper (interviewing, writing, editing etc etc) talent show for those bright ideas you keep thinking of, a camp quiz for the nerds, camp fire for after the nightly event and a suprise guest this year for the first time yaaaayy!! A typical camp day would have you waking up early (8am - yikes!!), having breakfast at 9am (yummy), chilling for an hour or so ;), taking part in the first chosen activity, chilling some more ;), having lunch, chilling for another hour or so ;), taking part in the second chosen activity, more free time to mingle with other young people, playing in the football, volleyball or other avtivity, competition on other days or taking part in age focused meetings/workshops, having your dinner, chilling some more, attending the nightly event, chilling a little bit more then off to bed at 12am. so, last but not least, see you all there!!
