YOUTH LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME FOR STUDENTS AGED 17
At the request of many parents we are introducing a special programme for 17 and 18+ students. This programme will take place in the afternoon after the morning language school.

Programme
The programme focuses on developing skills such as time management, goal setting, presentation skills, conflict management and team work. The YL programme also prepares participants to become camp counsellors by learning programme planning, leadership styles and techniques. YL participants also take part in all the regular camp activities.

Group Interaction and Event Planning are important components of the Youth Leadership Scheme, so YL participants will learn how to promote and plan actual events both during the day and evening at camp and learn skills to enable them to implement an event in their community, college or university. These skills will be very important to campers in later life.

Organisation – YL participants will be in charge of planning and organising an important event at camp

Planning – Skills are not only taught but put into practical application.

Communication – The event will require YL participants to learn to work with the many levels of the camp. This will require effective communication skills.

Promotion – YL participants will learn the importance of making their events attractive to the other campers and learn how to promote the camp programme to others.

Solving Problems – YL participants are put under pressure to manage the event. Throughout this process they will be faced with many problems, and they will put their skills to work in finding solutions while being monitored by our senior staff.

YL participants will also learn many valuable skills such as:

Leadership – Discover what their leadership style truly is. This will help students understand who they are and how they react to the world around them.

Goal Setting – We will take time during each session to help students discover what their goals are and how they should go about reaching them. Short term and long term goal setting tactics are taught.

Respect – Learning the value of respecting those around you

We recognise that participants aged 17 are allowed a certain amount of freedom back home so they will be allowed out late on an occasional evening accompanied by their programme leader(s) at his/her discretion.

Certificates : Youth Leadership certificates will be awarded to those participants who successfully complete the course.
