Opportunity to Help Launch Camp Education in Brazil!

Camp Education & the Future of Secondary Education

Brazil Professional Development Symposium

Rio de Janeiro • São Paulo • October 2026

Helping Schools Prepare Students for University...

...and for Everything That Comes After.

Around the world, schools are asking an increasingly important question:

How do we intentionally develop the human capacities that academic success alone cannot teach?

Leadership.

Resilience.

Independence.

Communication.

Adaptability.

Wellbeing.

Purpose.

These are the qualities universities increasingly value, employers consistently seek, and parents hope schools can help cultivate.

This October, Camp Education International (CEI) will visit Brazil to begin a conversation with leading secondary schools about a simple but powerful idea:

Camp is not only a place.

It is also an educational model.

什么是营地教育？

Camp Education is a developmental framework that uses experience, community, challenge, and reflection to help young people become capable, connected, resilient, and thriving human beings.

Rather than adding another program to an already crowded school calendar, Camp Education helps schools see existing experiences more intentionally—and strengthen the developmental outcomes already happening inside advisory, athletics, clubs, student leadership, outdoor education, service learning, travel, retreats, and school culture.

Who Should Attend?

This symposium is designed for educators responsible for preparing students not only for university—but for life beyond university.

Ideal participants include:

• 各学院院长
• Secondary Principals
• University & College Counselors
• Student Life Leaders
• Advisory Coordinators
• 体验式学习领军者
• Outdoor Education Leaders
• Wellbeing Directors
• Faculty interested in whole-child education

What We'll Explore

Topics may include:

• Why Camp Education matters now
• The CEI Method
• The Eight Domains of Camp Education
• Camp Education inside schools
• University readiness beyond academics
• Parent messaging
• 领导力发展
• Designing developmental experiences students remember for life

Because this is CEI's inaugural visit to Brazil, the final program will be informed by participants themselves.
