Summer Leadership Camps

Take leadership to the next level! Each summer, students from all over Michigan join together to take part in a workshop so challenging and energizing that they walk away with the tools and motivation to lead their schools through the challenges and activities of the next school year.

The MASC/MAHS Summer Leadership Camp is designed to teach the principles of effective leadership and to provide practical experience in applying these principles. Our staff of experienced advisers will present students with relevant issues for thought, discussion and practice. Students will leave camp with a renewed commitment to student leadership. Our participants will receive hands-on experience in leadership training through working on committees and in councils organized to assist in program planning and evaluation.

Our camps are residential leadership workshops spanning multiple days. We have a Middle Level program that runs over four (4) days for students entering 6th, 7th, 8th or 9th grade, and we have a High School program for students entering 10th, 11th or 12th grade. Students that attend our camp are typically involved in student leadership programs within their schools. Our curriculum focuses on student council and honor society groups, yet we invite any leadership student to attend.

Both programs are facilitated by adult staff members (mostly Michigan-based educators) and junior staff members (at the middle level camp, the junior staff members are in 11th or 12th grade or college; at the high school camp, all junior staff are in college). We proudly boast a staff to student ratio of about 1:6 at both camps! We also have licensed medical staff on hand throughout our week-long high school program.

In the event of an emergency while at our camp, we will post various contacts and phone numbers on this page for your reference.

ARRIVE & REGISTRATION

SUNDAY @ BALDWIN HALL
Middle School: July 20, 2008 | Registration - 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM (please do not arrive earlier as we will not be ready to check you in!)
High School: July 27, 2008 | Registration -

Do you have all of the required forms? Double-check that all forms are filled out, signed and understood!
Students without appropriate paperwork will not be permitted to go through the Registration process!

PLEASE DO NOT ARRIVE EARLIER THAN THE REGISTRATION START-TIME LISTED ABOVE ON SUNDAY!
We do not want you to have to just stand around and wait to check-in, and unfortunately, that's what happens when you arrive early. No early birds getting any worms here!

Following the directions to the college that can be found on Albion College’s website (above), drivers will park in the lot off Porter Street, between Hannah and Mingo Streets. Don't worry! As long as you can get to Michigan Avenue in front of Albion College, our staff will direct you down the side streets to the appropriate parking lots (unless you come too early, then you're on your own!). Any parents that wish to remain to help their student unpack will then be directed into another lot. Students driving themselves to the High School Camp will be parked in a separate lot as well. Further directions will be provided on-site.

Upon arrival, you will be directed to check in at Baldwin Hall. We ask that ONLY STUDENTS enter into Baldwin Hall for Registration, to reduce the crowd. Parents, Guardians, and siblings are asked to remain with the luggage (students – do NOT bring luggage in to registration unless there is no one with you to watch it outside) or in their cars in the parking lot. For all Required Forms you MUST bring them in to registration with you, completely filled out and signed (Medical/Health Form, Expectations Form) or you can mail them PRIOR TO JULY 4, 2008. NO STUDENT WILL BE ADMITTED TO CAMP WITHOUT THE PROPER FORMS AND COMPLETE SIGNATURES!

Once the students are registered, they will retrieve their luggage and be directed to the appropriate dorm building, where they will stay for the duration of camp. Parents, guardians, and siblings are invited to help students check into dorm rooms. Once the student is settled, we ask that all parents, guardians, and siblings leave the dorm building. The student will be directed to our Opening Icebreakers and Mixers. Students that drive – please do not leave any valuables in your car – leave them at home!

 

Need to ARRIVE LATE or LEAVE EARLY?

Our Summer Leadership Camp program is broken down into very specific time periods due to the nature of the program. We have found that students arriving late will sometimes feel somewhat behind their group. We have also found that students that leave early regret having to leave their group prior to the closing ceremony on the last day. We understand that summers are busy for students and families and respect your choice to arrive late/leave early.

Only medical and/or behavioral issues will remove a student from our camp between those two time periods. If you cannot comply with this request, please attend our camp another year, when it is more fitting for your schedule.

Students arriving late or departing early must send in or bring with them the ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE FORM, signed by a parent/guardian.
For late arrivals, please submit this form at least 2 weeks prior to camp.
For early departures, please submit this form either 2 weeks prior to camp or bring it to Registration.

 

DEPARTURE

Middle School Camp: Wednesday, July 23, 2008

We expect to end our camp experience at 11:45 AM on Friday, July 27, 2007. Parents, guardians, and siblings, please arrive between 11:30am and 12:00pm to pick up your student. At 11:45 AM, students will be instructed to pack up their dorm rooms. At this time, family members will be allowed to access the dorm rooms with their student(s). No family members will be permitted in the dorms without their student! Please park in the same lot off Porter Street that is used for Registration to pick up your student.

Our closing ceremony, if you wish to arrive early, will begin around 11:30am in “The Open Space” behind Robinson Hall (across the street from Baldwin Hall). Please refer to the campus map on Albion's website for detailed information. In case of rain, we will use Kresge Gym.

 

 

PACKING LIST

The dress code for camp is casual. It is usually hot outside all week, so shorts and summer shirts are permitted. However, the cafeteria and classrooms are air conditioned so we suggest that students carry a long sleeved t-shirt or sweatshirt with them. The dorms are NOT air-conditioned! Please bring clothes that are non-offensive to others: no short shorts or tank tops that reveal any sort of cleavage. SKIRTS ARE NOT ALLOWED (they are not ideal for most camp activities)!!! There will be no strapless or backless or mid-riff shirts either. Please respect other people by dressing appropriately. ONLY TANK TOPS THAT ARE NON-REVEALING MAY BE WORN (no low-scoop necks, no lingerie-style tank-tops, etc…). WE HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU KEEP TO SHORTS AND T-SHIRTS ALL WEEK AS NOT ONLY WILL YOU BE MORE COMFORTABLE, THOSE AROUND YOU WILL BE AS WELL. Casual means flip-flops and tennis shoes, NO DRESS SHOES please. Please keep hats at home also.
