2011 OASC Summer Camps

Word on the Street:

“MY LIFE CHANGED SO MUCH IN THAT ONE WEEK. I LEARNED SO MUCH, MET SO MANY NEW PEOPLE, AND BECAME MORE CONFIDENT”
-PAST CAMPER

“FIND A WAY TO SEND YOUR STUDENTS. MY STUDENTS COME
BACK GRATEFUL AND FULL OF ENTHUSIASM TO TAKE ON THEIR ROLE
OF A LEADER IN OUR SCHOOL. OASC CAMPS ARE TRULY LIFE ALTERING
FOR THESE KIDS”
-ADVISOR

Leadership and Beyond

“In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between, there are doors.” Attending an OASC Summer Leadership Camp is like opening one of those doors. This is an opportunity to meet students from around the state, learn how to be the best leader you can be, and have some of the most fun of your life!

Whether you’re involved in student council, MECHA, Key club, DECA,
the National Honor Society, an athletic team, the school musical, or FFA — our summer camp is for you! Our program offers something for everyone! We encourage you to take a week out of your summer to join us — it will be one decision that you won’t regret!

Our goal is to provide quality leadership training that will empower students
to effect positive changes in their school and community, and to become ethical and caring leaders. Throughout the course of the week, participants will focus on:

• Group & Personal Goal Setting
• Project Planning
• Social Networking Skills
• Marketing and Publicity Ideas
• Adapting to Challenges
• Building Unity
• Community Service
• Idea Share
• Networking with other leaders from across the state and internationally

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM AN OASC SUMMER CAMP:

• A staff that is unsurpassed! Our camps are led by accomplished educators and
  carefully chosen college-age students who have experienced our program.
• Real-life leadership! Since students plan many of the evening activities, they are
  provided with the opportunity to apply the skills they are learning.
• Long-term results! Many of our advisors say they can tell which students attend our camps, because they stay committed throughout the year.
• Memorable Experiences! Many long-term friendships are formed at OASC camps.

SURVEY SAYS:

The U.S. average price range for summer camps is $325—$780 a week.

A week at OASC . . . Priceless!

GREAT TRAINING FOR ADVISORS TOO!

Advisors are not required to attend if they send their students, since we are fully
staffed, but if you are a new or nearly new advisor, this is the best way to obtain curriculum ideas, and networking opportunities. Attendees are eligible for
CPD credits, and for a small additional fee, you may obtain 3 graduate credits
from Western Oregon University.
