LTREK
EVEREST
Leadership is NOT for the faint of heart.
Chilling windstorms and what? The Yeti?!!! Yep! One of
the
LTrek®
signature Seven Leadership Summits™, LTrek Everest™, is
a uniquely innovative youth leadership development
program in which your extraordinary venue becomes the
everest students must conquer! Participants are
challenged by leadership and character development games
and activities while tackling the highest peak in the
world, virtually, of course.
Students are introduced to Mt. Everest, the enchanting
Kingdom of Nepal and its servant-hearted people.
Students handle mountain climbing gear as they consider
the preparation required for such a feat. They build a
compass with everyday household items and then write a
personal mission statement that becomes a personal
compass to guide their steps on the trail of life.
LTrek
Everest™ activities correlate with five camps on
Everest, beginning with Base Camp and ending with a
final summit push from Camp Four. For example, they
must cross the Ice Falls to get to Camp One. They must
conquer the Western CWM to get to Camp Two, the Lhotse
Face to reach Camp Four and must reach the summit as a
team before a major snow storm stops them in their
tracks – all while a Yeti is chasing them, trying to
keep them from their ultimate achievement!!
Just as each of LTrek’s Seven Leadership Summits™ explores a
different leadership virtue, LTrek Everest™ focuses on
“courage.” Students learn that just as it is for
climbing the highest of mountains, leadership is not
for the faint of heart.
Through analogy and an interactive presentation,
students learn specifically about personal goal-setting,
preparation and readiness, ethical decision-making and,
consequences of getting off of the trail particularly
because of peer pressure, the importance of having a
guide or mentor, and ultimately the truth about
courage. Courage is about making right decisions and
choices, not just a gutsy a choice.
All campers receive a certificate of completion upon
summiting LTrek Everest™, a magnificent leadership
adventure! |
