Edmund Rice Camps : ウィキペディア英語版 | Edmund Rice Camps Edmund Rice Camps (often referred to as ERC or Eddie Rice Camps) is a charitable volunteer organisation closely associated with the Congregation of Christian Brothers, and inspired by the work of Edmund Ignatius Rice. Edmund Rice Camps works to provide opportunities for recreation, challenge and growth to young participants and families for whom there would otherwise be no such opportunities. == History ==
The first two 'Edmund Rice' camps took place at Parade College in Melbourne, Australia, in January 1981, as a form of community outreach for the students of Parade, and as a way of sharing the extensive resources of Parade left unused during the Australian summer.〔Joyce Williams, ‘For 57 boys school was perfect place for a holiday’, ''The Advocate'' (Melbourne), January 29, 1981, p. 9.〕 These first camps catered for two groups of children: one for at-risk boys from Melbourne, and another camp for refugee children who had escaped with their families from Communist Vietnam. Persons associated with the Christian Brothers helped to spread the concept of these camps to other states of Australia and overseas. The first Edmund Rice Camp in Tasmania took place in January 1985,〔(Presence, Compassion, Liberation )〕 and the first beyond Australian shores was held near Dunedin, New Zealand in May 1991.〔'Kiwi Camps kick off', ''Rice Grains'' (newsletter of Edmund Rice Camps Victoria) No. 11, June 1991〕
