Growing Up With Philosophy Camp brings together essays by the directors of philosophy summer camps, perhaps the newest venture for teaching philosophy to pre-college students.
A thoughtful and interesting portrayal of what is distinctive and special about philosophy camps, this book shows how they engage with young people in more profound and creative ways than most schools are able to do. The authors' experiences and reflections shed a warm and refreshing light on our understanding of philosophy that emphasizes the value of community and friendship. Many examples from campers, facilitators and parents are moving in revealing the positive impact that philosophy camps have had on the whole family and relationships at home.
