Camp NexGen™ Through the Eyes of the LGRRG Village
On August 6, 2022 at around 5:00PM Central African Time, we wrapped Camp NexGen™ Zimbabwe. Huddled around the registration tables we’d set up just 10 hours prior, we raised our cups to toast the end of a camp well done. Feelings of excitement and uncertainty at the start of camp, morphed into deep appreciation and admiration of the campers, volunteers, partners, and, the assignment. We all basked in the profundity of what we were able to accomplish over the 3-days for the local children, all while still processing the deep effects the experience had on ourselves. In the video below, hear the impact of Camp NexGen™ Zimbabwe through the words of those who were there to make it all happen.

While there are practical reasons to co-host our camp with other organizations, we particularly love doing so because we find that our local ties get deeper, stronger, and more sustainable. It validates our work when local and international organizations lean into LGRRG’s vision and come alongside to share their time, talent, and resources to see it come to fruition.
