Leader of the Day Experiences
During this outdoor leadership day camp participants head out on the trail or water for (5) consecutive days where they will engage in adventure-based and service-learning activities with their peers. There, they will learn firsthand what our local community and environmental needs are providing them with the opportunity to develop outdoor skills, and their own wildland ethic. With our LEAD SM curriculum serving as the foundation, participants are able to gain confidence as they lead their peers to accomplish project-related goals and objectives, as well as, hone their newly found outdoor skills.
