Explore our weekly themes:

Week 1

Tribe Games

Compete. Connect. Conquer.

June 1 - June 5

We kick off summer by building our tribes. Leaders will form teams, create their identity, and compete in high-energy challenges that build trust, communication, and culture. Friday ends in a championship that celebrates teamwork and character.

Week 2

Leadership

Step Up. Take Charge. Lead Well.

June 8 - June 12

What does it really mean to lead? This week leaders step into responsibility as they plan and run a campus event, guided by real-world leadership principles. Featuring a guest speaker, this week challenges students to lead with confidence and integrity.

Week 3

Resilience

Fall. Adjust. Rise Stronger.

June 15 - June 19

Resilience isn’t about avoiding failure, it’s about rising stronger after it. Leaders will track progress, push past frustration, and improve a measurable skill all week long. We culminate with a rock climbing adventure and a gust speaker that brings perseverance to life.

Week 4

Maker Lab

Imagine. Build. improve.

June 22 - June 26

Innovation takes imagination and grit. This hands-on week challenges leaders to design, prototype, and improve a functional creation from start to finish. Friday’s showcase highlights creativity, problem-solving, and persistence.

Week 5

Stewardship

Care for what you've been given.

June 8 - June 12

True leaders care for what they’ve been entrusted with. During Stewardship Week, leaders will improve a real campus space while exploring responsibility, sustainability, and service. A local rancher joins us to deepen our understanding of purposeful living.

Week 6

Preparedness

Stay Ready. Think Clearly. Act Calmly.

July 6 - July 10

Confidence grows when you know how to respond. This week focuses on situational awareness, practical planning, and staying calm under pressure. Leaders will design their own preparedness plan and participate in a hands-on simulation experience. We will also have a guest speaker on site!

Week 7

Courage

Bravery. Bold Action. Character.

July 13 - July 17

Courage isn’t the absence of fear... it’s action in spite of it. Leaders will identify a personal courage stretch and step boldly outside their comfort zone. With guidance from CSM Rick Lamb and a ropes course adventure, bravery becomes tangible.

Week 8

Challenge Factory

Strategize. Create. Compete.

July 20 - July 24

Strategy meets creativity in this high-energy design week. Leaders will create physical, mental, and teamwork challenges for one another before putting their skills to the test in an escape room finale. Collaboration and problem-solving take center stage.

Week 9

Summer Apogee

Celebrate Growth. Finish Strong.
