Volunteering in the Community:
Cabin Leaders for 6th Grade Camp

Anacapa students have the opportunity to volunteer to be cabin leaders for local elementary schools during their spring outdoor education programs.

For over 16 years, The Anacapa School has been providing enthusiastic and committed students to lead cabins of sixth graders and to assist camp naturalists.  At Anacapa, Upper School students (grades 9-12) must first volunteer for the coveted position, and then they are chosen based on their academic and personal strengths.

It is a powerful opportunity requiring discipline and leadership. Students always come away with stories of adventure, overcoming challenges, and humor.

In February, our students acted as cabin leaders for the 6th graders of Cleveland and Roosevelt School

After they came back to our campus, we listened to their stories and experiences and enjoyed time, and ice-cream, together.
