Understand tension. Practice negotiation. Decide with clarity.

Whether it’s between countries or individuals, conflict is part of being human. But how we understand it — and how we respond — can change everything.
Welcome to Bridges & Battles, a camp that explores the roots of conflict and the power of resolution. From international crises and diplomatic standoffs, to legal disputes and personal disagreements, you’ll learn the tools to navigate tension with wisdom and strength.

This camp focuses on building real-world skills in conflict resolution, mediation, and decision-making strategies. Through simulations, debates, case studies, and roleplay, you’ll dive into both historical and modern examples of how conflict escalates — and how it can be transformed.

Learn to listen deeply, negotiate fairly, and stand strong in difficult conversations. In a world full of division, these are the skills that make leaders, peacemakers, and change agents.
