Spring Leadership Retreat

2008 Retreat Application

What is it?
We will work hard and we will play hard!
The Spring Leadership Retreat is a weekend immersion experience for up to 40 UMass Amherst students that are living in the residence halls in spring 2008. This group of students will share their weekend together participating in activities and exercises that will help them learn from each other while growing as people and as leaders. Students can expect to discuss a variety of topics, some of which include teambuilding, leadership behaviors, ethical leadership, group and personal decision making, and communication. All of the activities will be presented in a way that everyone is an active participant and learning in a safe and fun environment. There will be time to bond with others on the retreat and utilize the recreational areas of the camp.

Students who have not been active in the past will gain as much as those that have been.

Who can Attend?
Any student living in the residence halls at UMass Amherst can apply to attend! There are a limited number of spaces available so it is important to get your application in by the deadline. Applications are due by Wednesday, March 26 at 5 p.m. to the Residence Life Resource Center or emailed to Chris Haigh at chaigh@gw.housing.umass.edu. The application is available in cluster offices, at the Residence Life Resource Center and online.

When and Where is it?
April 11-13 at Becket-Chimney Corners YMCA Camp. We will all travel together and will leave Friday afternoon and return on Sunday afternoon.

What does it Cost?
NOTHING! The retreat is free for the 40 students selected to attend and is coordinated and sponsored by the Residential Leadership Association.
