For students who are 16-21 years old.
August 22nd - September 1st in Somerset, United Kingdom.
The above lists of topics don't quite cover what the camps are About, though. A lot of the juice comes from being around both peers and older folks who are excited to figure out how the world works and what levers we have within it.
Commonly appreciated themes:
