About this organization
Mission
To develop in promising young people from diverse backgrounds a lifelong commitment to sensitive and responsible leadership for the betterment of their communities and the world.
About
Camp Rising Sun (CRS) is an international summer leadership program for extraordinary young people aged 15 - 16. Selection is highly competitive and is based on intellect (demonstrated academic achievement and an ability to think critically), character (honesty, compassion, integrity), leadership potential (self-confidence, openness and fairness in dealing with others), and individuality (developed abilities and interests). A special focus of the camp experience is the nurturing of ethical leadership skills. The Louis August Jonas Foundation (LAJF) operates Camp Rising Sun and recruits campers worldwide. Campers invited to participate are awarded a full scholarship. Each year campers from more than 25 countries are invited to attend camp in the belief that youth with different life experiences and from a variety of diverse cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds have much to offer each other. There are two camp sessions one for 60 boys, and the other for 60 girls. Campers attend Rising Sun for only one or two summers. The CRS program is meant to serve as a watershed in the development of an individual's identity. Its success lies in encouraging in each camper the fullest realization of their intellectual, cultural (artistic, musical, and literary), humanistic and ethical capabilities. In the shorter term, through the camp experience, campers can develop new self-awareness, increased self-confidence, and enhanced perceptions and understanding of the world around them. Many campers do not feel the full impact of the program until well after the end of the camp season.
