Leadership Camp

This residential camp teaches students the fundamentals of leadership and citizenship.



Working in cooperative teams, students will:

  • learn the fundamentals of leadership and learning styles
  • identify a problem in their community that requires a solution
  • gather and evaluate information on the problem
  • examine and evaluate alternative solutions
  • develop a proposed policy and action plan to address the problem

Students will visit local government agencies and will also visit the Chieseman Foundation for Democracy and Mt. Rushmore on field trips. Students' work is displayed in a class portfolio the last day of camp and will be reviewed by community leaders.

Of course there is time for fun! The camp also includes a number of activities that may include swimming, pizza parties, a field trip, etc. Students will experience dorm life, cafeteria food and learn what it is like to be on a college campus.

This is an overnight residential camp. A room will be provided in a residence hall on the School of Mines campus for the entire week. There will be 2-4 campers per room. Counselors are assigned to the campers in a ratio of one for every 15 students. The camp will provide all meals.
