Fall Leadership Camp (Fall Leap)

Do you have a teen whose school went on-line this fall? Then why not let them spend three weeks with us, developing leadership skills, working with the animals and of course completing their virtual/on-line school assignments? Fall Leap is a small program with a big goal; to help our campers succeed in school and in life. Each month we will work with a small group of campers. Each group will have consistent staff and campers for the entire 3 weeks. Meals would be made and eaten together, activities may be small group or individually driven and staff will always be available to assist campers in getting their required school work completed each day.

2-6 campers per group with one house parent (plus year round and animal staff).  

One of our year round staff will take on the primary role of mentor, teacher and tutor during the days.  

Campers and their house parent will live as a family unit in one of our apartments.

This family unit will collaborate to create a weekly menu, daily chore board and nightly movie / TV choices.

Meals will be eaten together and the dinner meal will be made together.

Campers may have cell phones, but will be asked to limit use to down time only.

We understand that some schools may require their students to be on-line at very specific times.   Therefore we will need to know in advance, each student’s class schedule to make sure that we can accommodate.  We will also log in to each student's on-line learning platform from camp, prior to anyone’s acceptance into the program to ensure that we are able to provide the connection that is required.
