Our Mission  

 To teach future leaders the importance of giving back for the greater global good.

Experiencing the legacy of Paul Newman

Summer Camp: An organic experience that creates lifelong memories and friendships, strengthens values and builds community.

Leadership, ethics and philanthropy camps are currently held in three

locations during the summer. Each camp is a six day, five night full

emersion program. Students are exposed to an extraordinary range of

speeches and panels, where they experience personal accounts from

leaders and entrepreneurs from the non-profit, philanthropic and socially

responsible business community. We combine the magical experience of

summer camp with the endless opportunities to give back.

Voices from Camp Kayla, CT, ’10, ‘11 Alicia, CO ‘10, ‘11 ,

VT’11 “ Grab the Torch Camp changed my outlook on life. It made me more adventurous in striving for opportunities that just seemed right. Camp provided the fuel for the fire of passion. I know the possibility of completing a task and goal is greater than ever before.”

“ Wow, that’s all I can say. Wow, how can one week be so incredibly insightful and be equivalent to some of the most important things I’ve learned throughout my entire life? I can feel the experience in every buzzing cell in my body.” A parent

“Plain and simple. My son came home a different boy. We’re forever grateful”
