We get the students to think about what kind of leader they are and if they are leading by positive or negative example. Those that are outsiders at their schools find themselves in a warm and accepting environment where their ideas and values are listened to without judgment, which is a novel experience for many of them.

We also have students who believe they have no leadership potential and are least likely to stand in the limelight. It is a special joy to watch those students come out feeling like they can change the world! They gain self-awareness, confidence, stronger communication and leadership skills, and lifelong friendships. Students return home more open-minded, motivated, and inspired to give back to their family, school and community. When students leave the camp, they have a focus and a vision for their future.

They are more energised to become involved in their schools and communities and are more tolerant and accepting of those around them.
