Leadership Summer Camp
Leadership Discovery in the Hills
JOIN THE QUEST! Spend the summer discovering science while keeping all those skills moving forward rather than suffering from summer boredom. This camp is geared toward children entering first through fifth grade. Children will practice communication, cooperation, problem solving, self-reliance and teamwork. The best part…. it’s a learning experience full of fun!
Science in a box: Self-contained, hands on science experiments that will astound and amaze. Campers will also fill a science journal with loads of writing practice.
Math Magic: Numbers will take on a whole new meaning in these break out math games. From number jeopardy to new ways to use the golden beads, this program will be calculated fun.
Destination Imagination Instant Challenges: The Discovery Team learns to brainstorm and work as a team. This program is all about a collaboration of effort. Creative problem solving combined with performance and improvisations make for amazing results.
Empowering Students: The Discovery Team will work on lesson plans and teach conflict resolution to the toddler and primary campers. Teaching character education supports our leaders’ self-esteem and strength of character while nurturing our younger campers‘ moral development.
