WHAT WE DO
CAMP Philippines is a non-profit student-led organization that opens international higher education opportunities for high school Filipinos.
FOUNDING
CAMP Philippines was founded on May 16, 2012 by three former Filipino scholars at the International School Manila to bridge the international education resource gap between international school students and local school students.

OUR MISSION
CAMP Philippines aims to bridge the accessibility gap between Filipino high school students and opportunities to pursue tertiary education abroad. By providing resources, mentorship and a CAMPamilya (CAMP family), we hope to empower and uplift the Filipino by unlocking hidden potential and making educational aspirations more attainable.
OUR VISION
CAMP wishes to foster a connected community of overseas Filipino students that unconditionally support each other and expand the educational horizons of the Filipino youth.
OUR PURPOSE
We believe our purpose is three-fold:
To bridge the resource gap between international school students and local school students when pursuing international education opportunities.
To form a support system of Filipinos studying abroad, connecting both international school graduates and local school graduates.
To create a cadre of young Filipinos eager to return to the Philippines and effect social change.
