TEAM LEADERSHIP DAY CAMP
Team leaders meet up at Ferry Landing for their preparation day before the camp starts on Tuesday.

G
reat for the community and good for the soul, The Mercury Bay Day Camp began its three-day adventure Teen Team Leadership program on Monday 14th April. It commenced with an early morning meet-up at Ferry Land-
ing of the fifty-seven local and overseas Teen Leader participants who range from ages fourteen to seventeen. These young leaders would be working with children taking part in the camp and, if they complete the course, will be awarded a Leadership Certificate for their Community Service. Previous graduates have
gone on to receive scholarships for Outward Bound and at least one teen went on to Medical College in Otago. With three hundred kids aged between six and thirteen years being expected, the Day Camp is overseen and made, in part, through philanthropic funding from The Mercury Bay Commu-
nity Support Trust. The three days of the Camp are packed with fun filled activities such as confidence courses, mystery trailer rides, kayaking, raft building, archery, and more. Activities are designed to spark future ideas and innovation with a focus on self-reliance and team building.
During the Camp, the older Teen Leaders will keep an eye on the younger kids and importantly encourage them to give things a go. There is even a Teen Team Leader Award Cup to be given to the Teen Leader who was deemed the most helpful or encouraging. Truly a rewarding experience for all.
