The 28th Aroostook Teen Leadership Camp (ATLC) will be held from July 27 through July 31 this summer at Northern Maine Community College (NMCC) in Presque Isle. Sponsored by Aroostook Mental Health Services, Inc., ATLC is a leadership development and drug prevention program open to teens currently in grades 6 – 8 in Aroostook County.
During camp, teens listen to national speakers talk about positive leadership, attend workshops on teen issues, participate in teambuilding activities and small discussion groups, and take part in a variety of evening social activities including a “No-Talent Night” and dance. Campers stay in NMCC dormitories during the camp.
Following summer camp, students can participate in a variety of follow-up activities including planning committees, a fall camp reunion, monthly outings, or being a member of the ATLC Advisory Board.
Registration information is available in Aroostook County schools having students in grades 6 – 8, or by calling Amber Stedt or Jack Foster, ATLC program coordinators, at 498-6431. The deadline for registration is Friday, April 11.
