What kinds of skills are learned in the workshops at camp?
A. Workshops are based on essential leadership development skills such as communications skills, goal setting, self-expression, group dynamics and motivation, team work, and other leadership skills. One of the workshops in the summer of 2006 was entitled, “Introducing ME!”. In the workshop campers learned about the importance of introductions and how to introduce themselves to others. All of the commnications skills such as good eye contact, speaking in a clear and distinctive voice, making a good first impression, self-confidence, etc. were introduced to campers. Each camper then complete an introduction of themselves to the other campers in their leadership group. Campers also practiced good hand shaking techniques and ways to be confident and proud of themselves and their accomplishments, hobbies, or interests.
