SOAC's 2nd Annual Summer 2007 Parent-Child Project
 
 

The SOAC Foundation held its 2nd Annual Summer 2007 Parent-Child Project in Old Snowmass, CO, June 29 through July 2. The Project was hosted by John Denver's Windstar Foundation, EARTHcamp.
   
  The weekend was spent participating in an active, creative and hands-on curriculum of science, games, visual & theater arts, and music. Each day was jam-packed with incredible fun and extraordinary opportunities to explore the Windstar Land Conservancy.

Goals
 

To promote a holistic approach to addressing global issues, preceded by an understanding that respect for others and self-respect have a direct impact on our respect for the world around us.

To inspire individuals to recognize their connectedness to the world around them.

To encourage commitment in helping to create a healthy and sustainable future for all people.

To create opportunities for individuals to gain knowledge, skills and experiences which enable them to demonstrate commitment through responsible decisions and actions.

   
 
   
 
Philosophy
 

Windstar believes that personal, interpersonal, societal, and ecological environments are all integral components in the creation of a sustainable future for the planet.

Windstar is the recognition and demonstration that each of us is part of, and responsible for, the quality of life on planet Earth; and that which affects any one of us, affects us all.

Windstar believes that each individual can play an important role in creating a peaceful, healthy and promising future on a global scale.

Windstar recognizes the human species as part of nature, whose existence depends on its ability to draw sustenance from a finite natural world, and whose continuance is contingent upon its ability to keep from destroying the natural system that regenerates this world.

Windstar is an expression of the power of human creativity, integrity and responsibility.

Windstar integrates Earth, mind and spirit and encourages individuals to operate out of this integrated place.
