During each of the interactive, 45-minute curriculum
sessions that take place in the morning and afternoon at D.A.R.E. All
Stars camp, students identify positive ideals and future aspirations.
By participating in games and discussions that establish positive peer
group norms, peer pressure to engage in risky behavior disappears.
Students commit to personal standards of behaviors. All Stars promotes
bonding with family, school and community, and it encourages parents
and kids to talk about aspirations and commitments.
Research has shown that All
Stars prevents alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use, reduces bullying
and fighting, and postpones sexual activity by:
- Building idealism and a belief in the future
- Establishing positive norms
- Establishing personal commitments to avoid risky
behaviors
- Promoting bonding to school and the group
- Promoting positive parental attentiveness
