CEED’s unique leadership experience for youth grades 8-11.

The wonders of nature, and the inspiration of saving the planet help develop people skills and environmental awareness in your leaders-to-be.

The Center for Environmental Education and Discovery (CEED) has developed an innovative program to help young people develop confidence, understanding of others, and decision-making abilities, while learning about the environment and how to share new knowledge with younger people.

Taught by experienced outdoor educators, CEED’s Leadership Training program goes beyond traditional camp counselor in training (CIT) programs. Teamwork, communication, and problem solving are all done outdoors, in nature. This fosters well-being, renewed spirit, and confidence, and leads to a Leadership Training Certificate.
