The Programme

Six disciplines.
One careful season.

Two weeks, residential. A curriculum built around studio time, mentor company and the quiet rhythms that turn a holiday into a formation.

Character Formation01

Daily · throughout camp

Character Formation

Mornings open with reflection. Evenings close with a mentor table. Between the two: an unspoken curriculum of virtue — attention, honesty, courage and care for the boy beside you.

  • Mentor pairings
  • Daily reflection
  • Vice/virtue conversations
  • Brotherhood circles
Art & Culture02

Studio · Museum

Art & Culture

Drawing, painting and sculpture under practising Nigerian artists. Curated visits to the Yemisi Shyllon Museum of Art, with conversations that turn looking into seeing.

  • Atelier-style studio days
  • YSMA museum tours
  • Critique sessions
  • End-of-camp exhibition
Creative Writing03

Creative Writing

Short fiction. Spoken word. Letters home. A boy who learns to write well learns to think well — and to argue without raising his voice.

  • Daily writing drills
  • Editorial workshops
  • Spoken-word night
  • Letter to a future self
Mobile Videography04
