About Leadership Academy LLC
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 is a summer company that creates camp adventures for the youth. We design and operate camp programs for children with a goal to get more people outside, exploring, learning, playing, and having fun so they develop a strong sense of self and a deeper connection to nature.
