Leadership for Kids is a weekly summer camp for young minds ages 5 – 10.
These camps equip children with skills in critical thinking, collaboration, teamwork, and persuasion in order to change the world. These camps are ideal for young leaders who want to learn how to demonstrate initiative, share bold opinions, and work with others effectively.
During the week, based on our weekly theme, children will complete leadership exercises; select a topic and explore it in depth; identify an area where they could take action; and invent an awesome solution to share with others.
Students will explore leadership in the context of modern day global issues, including the environment, education, and housing. On Fridays, children will share their work with peers, parents, and teachers.
The camps are designed for the child in mind. We believe leadership is best developed at an early age, where children learn to manage their emotions, collaborate effectively, and inspire their peers.
Past camps have explored global education and public housing. Check out a project from last year’s 2017 camp:
CHALLENGES IN GLOBAL PUBLIC HEALTH June 11-15
In collaboration with Budding Engineers
9 AM – 4 PM
Best Brains Cypress
$300 + $20 material fee
This camp is designed for children with an interest in health and medicine.
In the morning, with Leadership for Kids, we’ll examine how diseases spread around the world and how young people take action. Through experiments and writing activities, we’ll understand the science behind the spread of disease and how it affects people worldwide. Children will explore the stories of young people making a difference around the world. Through art activities and storytelling, campers will channel their energy towards understanding a complex problem, which they will address with an engineering solution in the afternoon. Basic lessons in biology, math, and zoology (as applicable to children) are included.
In the afternoon, with Budding Engineers, campers will explore how biomedical innovation can make a difference in medical care. They’ll learn to the engineering design process and invent their own creative solution. The camp ends with a project showcase demonstrating the child’s knowledge of a public health challenge, an engineered solution, and its social impact.
