Senior Leadership Campers ages 14-17 years will have the opportunity to enjoy Appleby's Campus overnight. Campers will be dropped off on Sunday afternoon and will have 5 nights to experience Appleby at night. We will have evening programming, early morning activities and days filled with excitement.
Although not a requirement, Senior Leadership Campers will build on the skills learning in Junior Leadership including: group dynamics, communication, cooperative learning, leadership styles, followership and confidence and will also delve deeper into how to apply those skills based on situations and settings. Senior Leadership Campers will also learn about their diverse communities through a one-hour presentation, covering subjects such as the 2SLBTQ+ acronym, pronouns, and other important subjects to ensure that we are serving our diverse camper community with the utmost respect.
The week will include Standard First Aid and CPR-C certification (a requirement to volunteer and/or work at Appleby Camp) along with recreational swim time in our indoor pool, a hot breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and a campfire night.
By the end of the week campers should feel confident in their ability to think quickly, be proactive, be flexible, and have the overnight experience close to home.
Topics in this program include: group dynamics, communication, cooperative learning, leadership styles, followership and confidence. The week will also include fun group activities, team building opportunities and a hot lunch served in Appleby’s cafeteria.
