Our camp is designed to foster Social Emotional Learning (SEL), enhance sports and
physical activities, and provide a unique opportunity for a week-long STEM experience
at DePaul University. We believe that these core components are essential in shaping
well-rounded individuals who are equipped with the skills and knowledge to succeed in
today's rapidly evolving world.
​
Why Choose BEST Leadership Summer Camp?
1. Social Emotional Learning (SEL)
Our camp focuses on SEL to help students develop essential life skills such as
self-awareness, self-management, empathy, and effective communication. Through
interactive workshops, group discussions, and hands-on activities, students will learn
how to navigate their emotions, build healthy relationships, and make responsible decisions.
2. Sports and Activities
Physical fitness and teamwork are integral parts of personal development. Our camp
offers a variety of sports and recreational activities that not only promote physical
health but also teach valuable lessons in teamwork, leadership, and perseverance.
Whether your child is a budding athlete or trying a new sport for the first time, our
experienced coaches and instructors will provide a supportive and encouraging
environment for them to thrive.
​
3. STEM Camp at DePaul University
We are thrilled to partner with DePaul University to offer a week-long STEM camp where
students will have the opportunity to explore the exciting world of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics on a college campus. Under the guidance of DePaul's
staff and industry experts, students will engage in hands-on experiments, innovative
projects, and interactive workshops that will ignite their curiosity and passion for STEM subjects.
4. Community Service and Servant Leadership
At BEST Leadership Summer Camp, we believe in the power of community and the
importance of giving back. Students will participate in community service projects and
volunteer at our local food pantries, providing them with opportunities to develop
servant leadership skills, empathy, and a sense of social responsibility. These
experiences will not only enrich their personal growth but also foster a deeper
understanding of the impact they can have on their communities and the world around them.
