Summer Camp · Grades 4–8
Future Leaders Camp
The Future Leaders Camp develops public speaking, debate, project leadership and community initiative — and leads directly into OLA's year-round Leadership Program.
What campers do
Inside the programme.
Public speaking, debate and a real team project presented to parents on the final day.
Public speaking
Structure, delivery and nerve management — practised daily, not lectured.
Debate
Argue a case, then argue the other side. The fastest route to real thinking.
Project leadership
Small teams run a real initiative from idea to presentation.
Community impact
Each cohort designs and delivers one contribution to the local community.
A day at camp
A day on Future Leaders.
Every camp follows the same daily structure — the Workshop Sessions are what differ. On Future Leaders they cover public speaking, debate, project leadership, community impact.
