Lead Themes (Grades 6-9)

Leads is unique from our Discover and Explore day camp program, in that it follows its own set of theme weeks. Each week we will highlight one of the core principals of leads.
Although we include all of these principals in everything that we do each week, we bring one to the forefront to give us diverse community service projects and guest speakers for each session, as well as tie the two together each week.
