During this one-week camp, we will follow the basic structure of the Adventure Camp (Ropes Course), with some elements of the Lifelong Adventure Camp (Outdoor Adventure) added in, but our focus will be on developing Leadership skills and those will be stressed through the completion of all elements/activities. There will also be minor “class time” elements (journaling and discussions) mixed in to stress certain points of Leadership.
