Tanglewood Leadership 3
Description
Perhaps the greatest accomplishment of Tanglewood’s Leadership Programs is that former L1 and L2 graduates designed Leadership 3 (L3) to meet their desires.

L3 is for older teens who want to continue to develop their skills in the outdoors, while preparing to lead youth. This is a 3-week program that involves intense hiking as well as time in camp learning mentoring skills.

The program kicks off with an intensive on community building, mentoring skills, reflection activities, and considering what it takes to be a solid leader.

Participants spend time on extensive day hikes (10-12 miles), traveling away from camp for adventures to build stamina, practice LNT skills, trip planning, and group development. The L3s then test their skills on a weekend trip to Baxter State Park, exploring the expansive trails and peaks.

During the final portion of the session, participants develop and explore learned skills in a practical hands-on environment. L3s spend 24 hours supporting counselors with cabin leadership and leading camp activities. In addition, time is spent with a leadership mentor, learning new skills and debriefing the joys and challenges of camp leadership. With new responsibility comes new freedom, allowing time for relaxing and building lasting friendships.

L3 requires responsibility and commitment. It prepares young leaders for future success while providing hands-on experience and life-long memories. Many graduates decide to take the step up to summer staff in the following years. This is a physically and emotionally demanding program, the rewards and outcomes, however, are great. Graduates find themselves with new ambitions and goals after program completion.
