About Jarrod De Jong

Jarrod de Jong has been in the media business for over twenty years. As a successful producer and writer in the film industry, he used his media studies degree from UNISA to break into the profession. He is well-connected and has media clout. Jarrod has produced a number of notable television shows, feature films, and short films. He has steadily shifted his focus over the last few years toward international co-productions, developing and promoting local projects with international distribution potential. However, Jarrod's aim has always been to build a leadership camp for rising high school seniors that incorporates the community, role models, and examples of leadership, as well as the most engaging holiday camp activities.His mission was to guarantee that each camper learned something new, developed their talents, felt good about themselves, discovered previously untapped potential, and had the finest camp experience possible. His objective remains consistent — the best staff, professional activity instructors, a blend of classic and non-traditional camp experiences with an emphasis on leadership development, and much more. Jarrod's dream of establishing an exceptional leadership camp has come true.For Jarrod, the mission of Camp Genesis is to provide every camper with the resources and experiences necessary to reach their full potential. That's why he went to great lengths to guarantee that Camp Genesis offers a wide variety of activities for campers. It is because of his passion for youth development and desire to assist teenagers in discovering and developing their unique skills that Camp Genesis was founded. It is a secure haven for teenagers to discover and develop their full potential in a healthy and supportive atmosphere. In this setting, teenagers will form long-lasting friendships and flourish in a variety of fields, allowing them to realize their full potential. A one camper at a time, Jarrod believes, can alter the world. He adores the wonderful impact that camp has on the lives of children.

    Camp Genesis is a group of professionals who have come together to share their knowledge and experience by developing a high-quality leadership camp for rising high school seniors. The kids who come to us to partake in the camp experience are as different as our team and our programming. Teens become part of a sharing community as a result of what we teach, the chances we provide, and the example we set.We cherish the world, the people who live in it, and the contribution that each individual can make as an organization. These are concentric circles, not independent values. The values that are essential to us as a company are the same values that we try to impart in the youth we work with.Youth leadership is part of the youth development process and supports the young person in developing: (a) the ability to analyze his or her own strengths and weaknesses, set personal and vocational goals, and have the self-esteem, confidence, motivation, and abilities to carry them out (including the ability to establish support networks in order to fully participate in community life and effect positive social change); and (b) the ability to guide or direct others on a course of action, influence the opinions and behaviors of others, and serve as a role model).Camp Genesis offers 3-day weekend and one-week holiday sessions. from leadership programs, environmental awareness, to a variety of outdoor adventure activities for campers to unleash their potential. We are not affiliated with any school, organization or religious group. The mission of Camp Genesis is to provide every camper with the resources and experiences necessary to reach their full potential. Our goal is to create a safe environment where campers can have fun, feel part of a bigger community, and grow in their hard and soft skills, which is why we create programs around our four pillars: values, ethics, integrity, and character.
