DLA Day One! -- By Abby

Speaking as a first time student and attendant of the leadership academy, the experience is definitely an amazing one that I would recommend. Each individual has the opportunity to pursue classes that compliment their interests, such as Philosophy, Bio-ethics, Civil Discussion, May the Farce be With You, Power of Story, Poetry Slam, Living the College Life, and Senior Leadership. These classes make it easy for a student to develop several different skills that can be applied in day-today life - whether it would be interacting with others, preparing for the future, or exploring one's self.
Every day after dinner, campers are involved in LACs (Leadership Action Committee), where they can participate in activities that highlight their skills and hobbies.
When we're not in classes or committees, we are constantly meeting and developing friendships with other ambitious students who are willing to work hard and have fun. The environment is intellectually stimulating and good for students who are looking to push forward and succeed in the future.
Overall, an amazing camp - and that's only day one!
