What does it take to prepare for college and for a job? Are you resilient enough to handle what life throws at you? Join us for two weeks of leadership training, service and fun as campers explore the connections between psychology, sociology, social action and community. Each day campers will challenge themselves to become more effective leaders through team building games, problem solving and by practicing professional skills (resume writing, building a strong college application, etc.).
