The Survivors Youth Leadership
Experience is a 5.5 day co-ed leadership camp held on campus at Oregon State
University in Corvallis. While at camp, "Survivors" live in dorms,
have meals in the dining hall and participate in action packed days.
"Survivors" participate in many activities and workshops that build
personal strengths, and skills and challenge current perceptions.
Fun, fast paced activities build confidence and leadership skills.
Camp includes
many hours of high energy, outdoor activities and a day at the Oregon
Coast. Camp wraps up on the Ropes Challenge Course, followed by a
celebration and dance.

I learned lots!"
