The best way to grow as a leader is to do leadership. This program looks to help students understand their tendencies in leadership by working with a group to solve complex problems. This is a hands on course modeled after Leadership and Professional Etiquette course in our Outdoor Leadership Program. Each day the group will be given a challenge—a teambuilding initiative, a skill challenge like building fires and even a day of off campus adventure like rock climbing during in which each participant will learn about who they are and how to better work with others.

A $100 deposit is required to submit this form and secure your registration.
