Program description:
This is a nature-based LEADERSHIP program! Students have a great time exploring and learning, while honing social and leadership skills each week.
Each week the students meet for the day (usually 5 hrs), with a highly qualified lead facilitator who supports them in assigning, planning and performing leadership roles. Each student is expected to review the relevant online resources in the LEARN! section of this website, and then lead his or her role in the field. Leadership roles include:
A typical day features exploring, group games, story-telling and a skills challenge. See also the Coordinator page for more on this topic. Technical skills we work on may include, but are not limited to:
It can take many years to master leadership and wilderness skills, so students are encouraged to attend long-term and grow through the program. By attending for multiple years, students are able to develop proficiency in a wide suite of skills, and can then use the resulting confidence to tackle ambitious personal dreams and contribute to the world in a big way. |
