This year's RCY camp is themed: “Our Year, Our Voice,” Liozo said.
Liozo said the camp is an annual activity for the active members of RCY to get together and enjoy the fellowship and camaraderie of each other.
It also provides an opportunity to develop their leadership skills, learn basic first aid, plant trees and have a nature tour, Liozo said.
He said the other activities are the search for Miss Teen RCY 2010, Search for RCY Got Talent, Hip Hop Competition and Amazing Race Challenge.
He said around 150-200 active RCY members coming from 20 RCY councils in Zamboanga City are expected to participate in the RCY camp.
The camp will culminate with the awarding of top 10 most outstanding chapter volunteers in celebration of the International Volunteers Day on December 5, 2010, Liozo said. (Bong Garcia)
