Celebrating over 50 years preparing youths to be the global leaders of tomorrow and today!

Camp ANYTOWN is a nationally recognized and award winning diversity, leadership, and social justice program for youth ages 15-18 (Delegates.)  Founded in 1957, ANYTOWN is designed to educate, liberate, and empower youth participants (delegates) to become effective, responsible global leaders and community builders.

For six days , a diverse group of 60 high school students come together to build a community based on respect, understanding, and inclusivity.  Through interactive games, workshops, and discussions, Delegates, along with 25 staff members explore the thoughts, opinions and experiences we all share on topics like prejudice, discrimination, and hate.  Through this dialogue, the Delegates are taken on a journey to create a model for an ideal community in which members not just tolerate, but celebrate each other's differences.  It is the goal of ANYTOWN to equip the Delegates with the knowledge and skills to transform their home communities into places where individual differences are seen as positive tools that bring people together instead of keeping them apart.

Since 1999, ANYTOWN of Connecticut and Western Massachusetts has empowered thousands of youth and adults to create inclusive, just and prejudice-free schools and communities.
