Leadership camps for middle schoolers! Athena’s Path (for girls) & Hero’s Pursuit (for boys) are week-long day camps that give kids in 5th – 8th grade an opportunity to develop their unique leadership style while having fun and meeting new friends.
Athena’s Path and Hero’s Pursuit camps have run for more than 20 years! Our campers enjoy a fun week all about middle school and love the friendships they make, the games they play, and the lessons they learn. Our parents appreciate the skills they learn that help them manage the middle school social scene and develop their own leadership skills with confidence.
Michelle Icard, creator of Athena’s Path, has written three books for parents of middle and high schoolers. These books incorporate many of the strategies your child learned in camp.
