Overview
Take home the leadership skills necessary to transform your student council and solve the problems you see in your school! Bring back ideas from other schools throughout the state to implement on your own campus! Meet people with the same passion for leadership and make friendships that will last a lifetime! Be inspired! And.... Have fun!
CASC offers you the opportunity to acquire a variety of leadership skills and team building techniques, such as presentation skills, meeting skills, and project planning. Most importantly, we will inspire you to bring positive change to your school and community in a way that only a CASC Summer Camp can do. On top of that, every day at camp is the chance to make a new friend, step out of your comfort zone, and have fun!
Through a combination of general sessions, small groups led by a CASC trained staff member, exciting workshops, structured activities, and inspirational guest speakers, you will walk away with the knowledge of leadership skills and curriculum, the passion to put those skills to use to transform your own high school campus, and an experience you will never forget. After four days, you will return to school a different person than you were when you arrived. Go home a leader, inspired to use what you learned to make a difference!
Hear from past participants:
"We have all learned to work as a team, to reach towards one common goal. It was amazing how you meet so many diverse people in the four days that you're here, but it seems that we have known each other for so long. You can take so much information back to your school to share."
Noora Tabrizi, Aragon High School
"I came to this camp initially to put something on my college transcript and to meet girls, but from the first day, I met so many friends, had so much fun, learned so much and felt so many emotions that I cannot even begin to describe them on this tiny form. I've spent the majority of my life secure in my "box" and hiding myself behind my shield. Over the course of CASC camp, I can say that I've been let out and the world is my oyster."
Aron Schumann, Half Moon Bay High School
"At the present time I do not hold any leadership position at my school. Coming to CASC has inspired me to get more involved and help establish a more productive student council at my school. Along with new problem solving techniques and meeting skills, I also learned a lot about people and social skills. I have grown as a person and I intend to share this new wealth of information with as many people as possible."
Rachel Luna, Pinole Valley/Hercules High School
"Because of CASC, I feel like I am on the road to eliminating my previous prejudices toward other ethnicities. I will never look at someone from a different culture and not know that they too are a compassionate human being who bleeds the same color as me. Thank you CASC for helping me break down the barrier."
Britt Lee, Maria Carillo High School
"I have learned so much from the speakers, my council group, the student leaders, and the activites. I have learned not just leadership and teamwork skills, but many things about myself. CASC is a great program that everyone should be involved with!"
Emily Gronendyke, Upper Terrace MS
"This week at CASC was truly inspirational, and thanks to this program, my life has changed. If I could choose between having a million dollars and the experience I've gained, I would choose the experience. Someday that money will run out, but the feeling of accomplishment will last a lifetime."
Rachelle Soroten, Upper Terrace MS
"I will come to CASC until they get tired of me."
Charlotte Welch, Herbert Slater MS
