Outdoor Lab
High School Leaders are an integral part of the Outdoor Lab experience. Every 6th grade student in Jeffco has the opportunity to attend Outdoor Lab, and the High School Leaders are there to serve as role models. They offer kindness, empathy, leadership, a positive attitude, and FUN...campers will never forget their High School Leaders!
We are seeking Leaders who will be juniors or seniors (sophomores will be considered on a space-available basis, typically for the 2nd semester camp dates). Participants will be awarded either 0.5 credits or 85 hours of community service at the end of the week.
