29th Annual Project Venture National Leadership Camp!
Over 100 youth and 40 adults from across North America attended NIYLP's 29th Annual Leadership Camp July 13-19th!Activities included hiking, ropes course, archery, arts and crafts, service activities, cultural sharing, horse inspired growth and healing, orienteering, mountain biking and more.
Youth learned and had opportunities to practice leadership skills, decision making, positive risk taking, communication and developed life-long friendships.
Adults from over 10 Project Venture Implementation sites spent the 7 days learning how design and carry-out similar PV camps in their own
communities.
