Alpine  Summer  Term (AST)

Jul 12 - Aug 9, 2009    Lenk, Switzerland


Spend your summer here learning to lead.

  
An outdoor leadership adventure, summer camp and cultural immersion in one institution, the AST brings 30 high school students to a village in Switzerland to engage with us and their peers in leadership learning, community service, skills for life and college preparation. For athletes, performers, adventurers, community servers, or any other student who wants to lead in his or her own world.


Our Vision...

An innovative curriculm in an Alpine environment. Students mature as young leaders -- developing confidence, learning to influence change, and making lifelong friends. 

What we are...

A place where you will lead peers on
Alpine overnights, rock climb and mountain bike, eat family style meals, cook in the backcountry, explore a new culture, travel on glaciers, and learn to communicate effectively. You will return to your academic and social environment at home with renewed perspectives and confidence, and anxious to lead your own teams.


No experience is required. We ask o
nly for curiosity
and sense of adventure!

Join us for the time of your life.
