20 VIDBE-Q Volume 62 Issue 3 An important theme throughout the week is "leadership," which is enforced during group activities each evening. Using FISH! by Stephen C. Lundin, Ph.D., Harry Paul and John Christensen, which promotes leadership through personal accountability, campers learn that they can be leaders whether they are at school, in their community or at work. Because many of the camper's plan on attending college, this boost of leadership training can truly help them succeed. Learning how to use GPS to increase their travel independence is still an important part of the program. Campers learn to use their free HumanWare Trekker Breeze+ on a college campus, where navigation is more complicated, and get to show off their newfound knowledge by completing a GPS scavenger hunt. A day is spent at Lions Bear Lake Camp which includes completing a low ropes Challenge Course as a team.
