English Immersion: Leadership

Our leadership-focused English Immersion week has been constructed with the knowledge that students must develop theskills and capabilitiesthat will enable them to speak up in class, solve problems creatively and to communicate with confidence. Ultimately we strive to have each student demonstrably improve from whatever level of ability they come with tocamp. Students will gain the confidence to interact appropriately in formal and informal social situations. They will learn the appropriate ways to work in a group as they participate in daily fun, hands on activities.

The curriculum will be divided into two main components:Communication Skills and Entrepreneurial Thinking seminars. Through these two courses students will learn by doing, learn to communicate effectively in a group, and work on learning to present their plan to an audience with the goal of learning how to bring a project from the idea stage to actual implementation. Students will also learn the social norms necessary to be successful in the English Speaking Business world.
