You've been labeled as a leader. Whether it is by your mom or dad, your teacher or principal, or coach, boss, or adviser--congratulations for having this title awarded to you!
But what now? As a student leader--what are your responsibilities? What should you focus on? What social, community, and school-based issues will you face as you continue your walk in student activities. These questions are ones that all student leaders will face--from the star athlete to student council president--and we want to help!
The MASC/MAHS Summer Leadership Camp is designed to teach the principles of effective leadership and to provide practical experience in applying these principles. Our staff of experienced advisers will present students with relevant issues for thought, discussion and practice. Students will leave camp with a renewed commitment to student leadership--and their role in their school community. Our participants will receive hands-on experience in leadership training through working on committees and in councils organized to assist in program planning and evaluation.
The multi-day camps are PACKED with hands-on engaging activities for students in a broad range of involvements. Whether you are a member of your schools student council, honor society, athletic teams, drama or arts group, or anything in between--there is something for you to gain at MASC/MAHS Leadership Camp.
We will run two camps in the summer of 2010--both housed on the campus of Albion College in the center of Michigan. Our first week is designed exclusively for junior high and middle level leaders (JAM), those entering 6th, 7th, 8th, OR 9th grade. Our JAM Camp will run three nights and four days--all of which promise to be action packed and exciting. The following week, we will welcome high school student leaders, those entering 10th, 11th, and 12th grade in the fall. This camp will run 5 nights and 6 days, but the relationships you will build are certain to last a lifetime.
Both programs are facilitated by adult staff members (mostly Michigan-based leadership educators) and junior staff members (trained, background-checked, and professional college students). We proudly boast a staff to student ratio of about 1:6 at both camps! We also have licensed medical staff on hand throughout our week-long high school program.
