Youth Leadership Camps Canada

Teachers Testimonials

• "In each of the past three years, the Child Witness Centre of Waterloo Region has hosted a Youth Symposium for 1,200 grade 7 and 8 students. Stu Saunders has presented twice, and each time got rave reviews as the best speaker at the event. Stu's humorous journey through his own life experiences makes for a powerful and inspirational message--one that is life-changing for many of the students attending.
  
  We look forward to having Stu Saunders back soon!

• "My name is Allanda. I attended the Student Council Conference in St. Andrews, New Brunswick ' 05. I was just researching about you on the internet, because I thought you did a spectacular job. I am president at my school this year, and I use to walk around the school with my head hanging down facing the floor. And at my student council meetings I would name a topic and let everyone else decide on it and wouldn't even put my ideas on the table to be thought about. I have always been scared they were going to laugh and make fun of me. I have always been bullied and don't want that as SCR President. But you changed my mind. I'm going to take a chance and be that 5 year old kid who everybody loves. And the 5 year old that doesn't care what anybody thinks about them. I guess what I am trying to say is thank you.
  
  You probably don't get that as much as you deserve, so I’m going to say it again thank you. I really needed someone like you. My family consists of me, my mom and my sister. My mom works full-time and I don’t know how she is doing it. And I especially don't know how she finds time for my sister and me. So it's pretty hard, I work part-time, have student council, softball, volleyball and badminton. And I was starting to doubt myself, but after I heard you speak I realized I could.
