Although the leadership topic is serious, the activities are meant to be fun for everyone.

“They are on the zip line, they’re doing laser tag, and the team-building exercises,” Head Chaperon Bree Wright explained. “They’re learning what it looks like to work together as a team to have one goal come to fruition. We as leaders get to look at them and watch their characteristics.”
