Youth/School Group Programs

Camp Beech Cliff (CBC) launched the Acadia Leadership Institute to provide the resources of our facilities and expertise of our staff to the non-camp community. Acadia Leadership Institute (ALI) provides extensive leadership and teambuilding programs to school and youth groups.  We work with you to determine which of our resources will best fit your group's needs/curriculum. No two groups of students are the same and each ALI experience is unique.

Contact us to discuss what Acadia Leadership Institute can bring to your group. ALI designs programs that take place at Camp Beech Cliff but also brings programming to the school setting.

They learned how they can take the skills practiced and apply them to situations in life. It is vital for our classrooms to learn this task; we were able to do this as a team which is an incredibly valuable experience. We are so looking forward to how this experience can be drawn upon in the future to support us as we travel together as a grade 6 community.
