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 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.

6 Camps at 7 Different Locations Throughout Nashville
