What students do at the MASC/MAHS Summer Leadership Camp
Students are placed in random leadership groups (separated from their schoolmates), which are supervised by two staff members. Throughout the week, students participate in interactive and experiential lessons that guide them through various aspects of leadership (see details below). The students also are responsible for completing skill-building tasks daily, including developing leadership challenges, News of the Day presentations, camp-wide mixers, leadership skits, service projects, photo display boards, reflection sessions and a variety of other activities and presentations.

What skills students develop/learn at the Leadership Camp
There are a variety of lessons and skills that students will be exposed to throughout their days at camp. Below is a list of some of the general concepts participants will assimilate. Students are divided into camps for first-, second- and third-year participants. Each camp experiences a unique curriculum that varies slightly from those listed, and expands on various other leadership components:

• Communication Skills
• Organization & Managerial Skills
• Service & Citizenship
• Group Process
• Goal Setting

Notice
During the year following scholarship presentations, the SET SEG Educational Foundation will contact the staff of award-winning schools and request they and/or their students evaluate their experiences with the MASC/MAHS Leadership Camp and/or the SET SEG Educational Foundation. This information will help the Foundation continue its philanthropy by supporting and advancing public education in Michigan and aiding in the furtherance of student achivement.
