**SPECIAL SUMMER EDITION OF STRETCH!**

For the first time, the Campus Leadership & Involvement Center with the support of the Leadership Fellows will offer a summer edition of Stretch! The information in this section is the most accurate, as some of the processes for the summer program are different than during the academic year. The information in subsequent sections provides an overview of the general aspects of the program.
 
WHEN: Stretch! is July 13, 2013 from 10:45 a.m. to 5 p.m.
 
HOW DO I APPLY?: Our summer edition of Stretch! does not require an application. Interested students can sign-up in the Campus Leadership & Involvement Center, Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 P.M. Students should bring along a Denison ID, insurance information and $10.
 
IS THERE A COST?: Our summer edition of Stretch! includes lunch, transportation and the actual program. All of this is provided for a nominal fee of $10.
 
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?: Stretch! is a fun and challenging day! We will begin on-campus where we will introduce the leadership concepts that we plan to focus on and watch a powerful TEDx video to set the stage. Before leaving campus, we will pack lunches to bring with us to Summit Vision, where the rest of the program will be held. We will travel by van to the location in Westerville. At Summit Vision, we will learn all of the necessary safety procedures for being part of a high ropes course. Then, it's up in the sky for us as we move our way through a series of exercises and challenges. After the course, we will eat lunch and participate in some reflection and processing questions before we head back to campus.
 
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?: All participants should wear closed toed shoes and be prepared for the weather—rain or shine! If your group is participating in a high ropes or high elements experience, all participants should wear a shirt that is long enough to tuck in & no short shorts!
 
HOW DO I GET MORE INFORMATION?: If you are interested in Stretch!, write to our Program Coordinator Megan McCormick (mccorm_m1@denison.edu). Megan is a Leadership Fellow and is coordinating our summer edition of Stretch!
