Camp Warner Park
Leadership Academy founded with the launch of Camp Warner Park a partnership with Friends of Warner Parks & Nashville Metro Parks
At Leadership Academy, we believe that play and exploration increases creativity, confidence and social intelligence. By playing with others in a camp community, children build competence, autonomy and relatedness that drives intrinsic motivation and happiness.
Leadership Academy LLC is a summer camp company that designs and operates camp adventures for children. Our goal is to get people outside, exploring, learning, playing and having fun so they develop a strong sense of self and a deeper connection to nature.
