Leadership Camp
While learning is an integral part of a student’s life, it doesn’t have to occur solely in the classroom.
In May of 2014 Kipling Collegiate initiated the annual leadership camp. Since then the camp has grown and attracted students from various grades! All students are encouraged to apply for camp, be they emergent or exemplary leaders.
The camp offers excellent opportunities for leadership, team building, initiative and most importantly, making memories for a life time. Some of the activities include low ropes, high ropes, fire building, talent night, hiking and campfires. Nothing beats the feeling of being out in the fresh air, participating in various challenges, problem solving with your friends and forgetting about your phone for a few days!
Leadership through STEM and KAA
At Kipling Collegiate Institute students get multiple opportunities to obtain their leadership certification. Students can train to be leaders for the STEM Olympics or organize and lead intramurals for the Kipling Athletic Association.
