The Chinese Youth Leadership Camp (CYLC) is a non-profit summer camp aimed at aspiring young adults (from the age of eight to fifteen) of the Chinese American community. The camp consists of many educational activities such as swimming, basketball, crafts and etiquette classes, talent shows, as well as leadership, teamwork, and Chinese cultural activities. [1]

[edit] Camp Structure
Campers are divided into classes where they can better socialize and learn in their own age group: 甲(jia) 乙(yi) 丙(bing) 丁(ding) 戊(wu). Jia is young kids from the ages 8 to 9, yi is kids from the ages 10 to 11, bing is kids ages from 12 to 13, and ding is from 14 to 15.
[edit] History
Founded a few years ago, CYLC aimed to help each of its campers find the leader within him/herself. Strongly encouraging change from within, CYLC emphasizes the motto: "The heart is like a tree, it grows where it wishes." Providing a positive environment, CYLC hopes to provide each of its campers the opportunities to step out of his or her shell and just have some fun be it in learning to ballroom dance (where learning to lead and follow is key) or more practically, its etiquette class where campers learn the ins and outs of "acceptable" behavior from dining to dating.
