Description
The goal of the Environmental Leadership Teens (ELT) is to equip and encourage teens to be effective environmental advocates and conservation leaders in their homes and communities. During each session, Wildwood staff challenge teens to develop their individual leadership and community, and support them as they develop their own skills, style of leadership and voice.
Each teen will be given opportunities to practice leadership: through teaching, service, outdoor adventure, and more, among both their peers and younger campers. Each group of ELTs will also focus on an environmental or conservation topic, and how they may apply their leadership skills to make a positive impact in their homes and communities. Teens will leave with knowledge and experience in goal-based leadership, and acting as a positive role model in their various communities.
This First Year Environmental Leadership Teens is for teens entering grade 10. First year ELTs participate in team-building activities, an environmental service project, and act as leaders and role models for their peers and younger campers. With the support and guidance of Wildwood staff, participants lead their peers in a program of their own creation. Off-site community service provides an opportunity to serve and connect with communities beyond Wildwood.
