Teambuilding

This unique and engaging experience for campers ages 13-14 is designed to recognize and enhance leadership skills. Leadership begins through service to others, and a key component of Teen Service Leadership is the integration of service projects and facilitated teambuilding initiatives.

Alongside trained Shaker Village staff, campers will learn techniques for organic gardening, dry stone fence construction and the management of rare ecosystems, while completing projects that will fill them with a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Campers will also take part in daily teambuilding activities to guide their development both as leaders and as members of a team. Each day will have plenty of time for additional games, recreation activities and fun built into the schedule.

Pricing: $265 per camper
Register before April 1: $235 per camper

Registration fee includes full-day programming throughout the week, two healthy snacks per day (one AM, one PM: granola bar, cheese stick, piece of fruit, etc.), one Shaker Village bandana and other "swag," and free annual family membership ($150 value - begins after camp attendance).
