Camp Links Leadership to Learning

This summer marks the first time the school has offered its students the opportunity to attend a summer camp on the school's campus. The "Linking Leadership to Learning" camp provides students the opportunity to work together with professional educators to empower themselves with effective leadership skills.

Professional Leadership Speaker and Author Nancy Hunter Denney opened the camp with a presentation about the traits of effective leaders and how students can use their leadership skills to make a real difference in the world. Later in the week, Author Marlon Smith will discuss "Living with Purpose."

Throughout the week, students will also participate in a challenge course offered by the Raleigh Parks and Recreation, receive technology instruction, take part in leadership activities and games, and attend sessions on topics such as Active Listening, Characteristics of Confidence, Group Dynamics, Public Speaking Skills and Covey Leadership Traits. The camp will end with bowling and a tour of NC State University.
