Summer vacation is still a few months away, but many are looking forward to the warmer months. Among that list is Leadership Prince William (LPW).
The Manassas-based non-profit is accepting applications for its Summer Academy.
The academy, which will run from July 16 to 27, offers field trips and activities for rising seventh- through ninth-graders.
“Leadership Prince William is really proud of this program, because it offers a great alternative to this typical summer day camp experience,” LPW Executive Director Andrea Short said. “While they do get engaged in physical activity and burn off energy, in a lot of ways they’re really using their minds.”
Participants also work on a community service project and learn more about their leadership styles.
“This is really a two week growth opportunity for a kid who is really set to change the world,” Short said.
It costs $450 to participate in the academy. The $450 covers the cost of breakfast, lunch, travel and activities.
The application is available online.
Rising 10th- through 12th-graders can participate in the Academy by serving as “Leaders in Training.”
As “Leaders in Training,” they will act as role models for younger students and assist with activities.
“Leaders in Training” applicants can apply here.
