How do students gain the skills and techniques to become an effective leader? They partake in Student Leadership for an experience that will last a lifetime!
Students in this program will be exposed to a variety of leadership building strategies through group discussions, problem-solving exercises, and group activities. The course will run concurrently with the camp volunteer program, as the students will attend ninety minutes of leadership building strategies in the classroom and then will be immersed in ninety minutes of volunteering as assistants in the variety of other camps taking place on campus. The intention behind this structure is to allow students to learn leadership skills and then act upon them immediately.
The program will focus on a variety of topics appropriate for middle school students including individuality, effective conflict resolution techniques and personal responsibility. We will also discuss what leadership and stepping up really looks like when working with young children, as this will define the majority of their volunteer experience that week. Students will also research and discuss contemporary examples of young leaders making a difference on the local, national or global level.
Please note: Students will earn a certificate for this camp which will allow them to return and volunteer for Green Vale camps in the future. In order to earn a certificate, students must attend camp for the full four days.
