Counselors Associates is hosting its 5th annual Positive Influence Leadership Camp this summer for students entering 6th, 7th and 8th grades in the fall of 2022. Positive Influence Leadership Camp is an 8-session, 4-week summer camp led by highly skilled mental health therapists. This camp provides the opportunity for participants to learn and practice effective leadership skills, health communication skills, and engaging social skills, all while building self-confidence through fun activities. Many of our past campers have created lasting friendships and have learned effective leadership skills.
Summer STEM needs to be fun and engaging so IMSA summer programs tap into each child’s natural desire to experiment and explore through hands-on activities that provide the opportunity to ask questions, make discoveries, and test those discoveries in search for new understanding. Our original, IMSA-unique, inquiry-based programs mirror the enterprise of doing real science. For more information and to register or apply for a scholarship, visit here!
