Students participate as members of a team during the course and receive instruction in leadership principles and effective communications. Students also participate the following:

  • Physical Fitness Training
  • Leadership Reaction Course
  • Olympic Challenge Course

Spring sessions full

We’re sorry, but our spring 2008 Leadership Challenge Weekend session, April 4-6, has been filled. We’ll add new weekend dates as soon as they’re available.

Thank you.

Weekend Activities

Friday evening is spent in the classroom getting to know your fellow team members and learning effective communication skills. Saturday morning begins with physical fitness training followed by a trip through the Leadership Reaction Course. Classes on the Effective Team Leader and Team Follower are conducted after brunch, followed by a team competition on the Olympic Challenge Course. After dinner, students watch a short film and then participate in campus activities. On Sunday, students rotate through the climbing wall and water survival skills training. After a small graduation ceremony we say goodbye to new found friends.
