Join other Survivors at the 13th annual ProLife Training Camp - 12 days of intense training and activism that will prepare you to stand against the worst evil of our day: abortion.
Known nationally as the pro-life "boot camp", Survivors ProLife Training Camps have equipped hundreds of high school and college students to be effective voices for the preborn.
From preparing a press release to sharing the truth of abortion on a street corner, the Survivors are trained as warriors of the highest caliber. Through the signature combination of classroom teaching and hands-on experience, the Survivors ProLife Training Camps are producing pro-life leaders for the next generation.
When: June 21-July 2, 2010
Where: Los Angeles, California. The Survivors rent out the St. Joseph's Retreat Center in Rosemead for lodging, meals, and training sessions (note - we only rent the center itself, and our camp is separate from the programs St. Joseph's offers). Activities take place throughout Los Angeles and Orange County.
Who: High school and college-age
youth
How much: Camp fee is $425,
but there are many ways to come to camp at
little or no cost to you. Check out our discounts and
fundraising ideas! Camp fee includes food, lodging, training materials, and transportation once you have arrived at camp. Returning camp veterans may join us for a portion of camp. Cost for camp veterans is $40 per night with a minimum of 3 nights stay.
How: Complete the online
application and send your $50 non-refundable
deposit. You will receive confirmation (parents
of minors will be included in all

been received.
The Survivors ProLife Training Camp takes place every summer in Southern California, a location that provides endless opportunities for exciting and effective activism.
However, before you begin any activism, you will participate in four days of workshops and training sessions taught by experienced pro-life leaders. These workshops are designed to equip you to confidently present the pro-life message on the streets, in schools, and to your peers. Whether you've been in the pro-life fight for years, or are new to the cause, you will come away with a fresh perspective and better equipped to intercede for the pre-born.
Training topics include:
Why Pro-Life? The Basics, The Woman, The Child: A full-day introduction to the abortion debate.
The Abortion Industry: Because no one can fight an effective battle without first knowing the opposition. From abortion methods to abortion providers and promoters, the dark history and current status of the abortion industry in America is exhaustively examined.
Persuasively Defending Life: In-depth apologetics and ambassadorship. Preparing you to represent the plight of the pre-born in any situation, teaching you to engage in effectively dialogue with the ultimate goal of impacting hearts and minds.
Activating Your Community: Taking the initiative, starting pro-life groups, engaging and activating your peers in their hometowns.
Media: From online resources to traditional print, television and radio, utilizing the power of the media to consistently present the message of life to the American people.
Sidewalk Counseling: Because the sidewalk in front of an abortion clinic is the last line of defense for a pre-born child and his mother, experienced sidewalk counselors will equip you to lovingly reach out to women with hope and alternatives to abortion.
Legal Rights: What you should know as an activist about the Constitution, state and local laws, and how to interact with police at a pro-life event. Knowing your rights is crucial if you are to be an effective and unflinching voice for the pre-born!
Not only will the Survivors ProLife Training Camp train and equip you to be an effective voice for the voiceless, but also gives you an opportunity to try out a wide variety of pro-life events and activities during the last 8 days of camp. Whatever your style, you will be able to find the pro-life outreach that works for you!
Activism includes:
Prayer/Worship Vigils
Street Activism
Campus Outreach
Sidewalk Counseling
News Conferences
Political Action
Volunteering at Maternity Homes
