Student-Run Leadership Retreat
Student-Run Leadership Retreats provide the opportunity for your student-based camp committee to plan and carry out their own retreat. Through this process, the committee learns about planning, flexibility, hard work and positive leadership. Participants are challenged to discover their own leadership qualities, barriers, talents, and ultimately, find a place to shine. Please contact us for further details on the facilities and materials we can offer to support your planning committee.
Every program is fully customizable with a large selection of activities for you and your team to choose from.
For your Student-Run Leadership Retreat, we recommend:
Personal Development Workshops
These guided workshops help students get to know one another and become comfortable working together as a team. Most importantly, these workshops equip students with leadership skills and activities they can bring back to their school.
Large Group Games
Active competition based games that students complete in teams. Activities include field sports and camp-wide challenges that encourage communication, sportsmanship, teamwork, and cooperation.
High Ropes
Participants can traverse the obstacles suspended in the air with more than one teammate at a time, or help to belay their teammates and communicate with them from below. These courses challenge participants to develop trust within themselves and their teammates.
Low Ropes
A series of ground based obstacles designed to challenge teams and individuals to work together. Exercises focus on building trust, improving participants’ ability to communicate, stimulating creative problem solving, collaborating even with constraints, and developing and executing a plan with many moving parts.
