Teen Travel Camp: Project Discovery

The highlight of the week is a hands-on internship at Project Discovery, where each participant organizes an activity for the little campers. We envision our student leaders returning as training advisors for future camps and programs, with the opportunity to engage more with the team. In addition, the leadership skills cultivated during this program transcend camp life and prove invaluable in academic, family, and community contexts, enriching every adventure they undertake thereafter.
