Leadership: Understanding and Walking the Path to a Better Future
On the weekend of April 30th, twenty-five youths gathered at Camp Cedar Ridge for the 2010 NASIMCO Youth Leadership Retreat. The theme of the retreat was "Leadership: Understanding and Walking the Path to a Better Future". Participants came from the many communities around the Toronto area, each hoping to learn how to create a confident future generation.
The intensive weekend included a variety of workshops, fun outdoor activities, keynote addresses and many informal discussions. Throughout the weekend, participants were challenged to think critically in an effort to find the truth amongst all the ideologies and stigmas that have been inherited from previous generations and have formed what our society deems to be "normal".
