Hopa Mountain is now accepting applications for the 2011 Youth Leadership Camps. Two summer camps themed “Stepping Up” will be held at Homestake Lodge near Butte, MT. The camps focus on helping area teens 13-18 develop strong leadership and interpersonal skills. Summer camp participants will participate in adventure-based experiential challenges, art and science activities, and community service initiatives. Hopa Mountain’s youth leadership programs in Gallatin and Park Counties are offered year-round. They provide area teens with ongoing opportunities to strengthen their leadership skills through service-learning, experiential challenges, outdoor field programs, inquiry-based science education activities, college and career access experiences, and asset-based self-awareness initiatives. The youth leadership programs prepare teens to become contributing members of their families, peer groups, and communities.
