Leadership Development program designed for High School groups
High Trails and The Nature Place are offering 2 to 5-day programs for high school and 8th-grade groups interested in a hands-on leadership experience. Students will stay at The Nature Place, and work with professional leadership facilitators to build group dynamics and communcation skills. These workshops will help build any student council group, sports team or peer mentor group into an efficient working team. With 6000 acres of private land, premium accomodations and great food, the leadership programs at The Nature Place are a perfect place to get students away from the pressures of school and community. Coordinators work with you to build a program which will accomplish the group's goals, as well as our aim to build individual and group confidence, communication, coordination, and ambition.
