DISCOVERY INSTITUTE

Program Overview:

​

The ten-day Discovery Institute located at Camp Allen in Navasota, TX brings together young American, Israeli, and Palestinian teens ages 14-15 years old for foundational leadership development and learning basic peacebuilding knowledge and skills.

Discovery participants have the opportunity to engage in group team-building and self awareness and identity training through a variety of educational activities and approaches.  In addition to group dialogue, workshops, service-projects, and interfaith learning, teens enjoy outdoor activities such as high and low-ropes challenge courses, swimming and horseback riding.
 
Through the Discovery Institute, participants gain personal awareness of their strengths and weaknesses, leadership and peacebuilding characteristics, as well as an introduction to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
