Summer Leader Experience (SLE) View Flyer
This one-week program is designed for current high school juniors, offering them a unique opportunity to experience life as a Cadet at West Point. The action-packed week will be both challenging and rewarding, with participants taking part in:
- Four hands-on academic workshops selected from 17 different options, taught by West Point faculty.
- Physical and mental challenges, including indoor and outdoor obstacle courses, intramurals, and the Candidate Fitness Assessment.
- Leadership and character development through team challenges, the Leader Reaction Course, and ethics discussions led by West Point Cadets.
Check out the SLE 2024 VIDEO to learn more about the experience. Students can choose between two SLE sessions: May 31 – June 6; or June 7 – June 13. Applications for SLE open on February 15, and selections will be made on a rolling basis starting March 15. Completing this application also fulfills the first portion of the application to West Point. West Point provides scholarships to cover the costs of SLE fees and travel expenses for students who have proven financial need. Learn more here: West Point Summer Leader Experience.

2025 COMMUNITY SUMMER ACTIVITIES
The Ronald McDonald House is hosting the 5th Annual Ashton’s Football Camp this summer. This event honors the memory of Ashton Adams, a young boy from Eau Claire who was hospitalized at Marshfield Children’s Hospital. Tragically, Ashton passed away from a rare form of brain and spinal cancer. The camp also supports the families served at the Ronald McDonald House of Marshfield. The camp is scheduled for July 30th, 2025, at the new indoor UW Eau Claire Sonnentag Center. It’s designed for kids in grades 2-8 to improve their football skills while honoring Ashton’s legacy. This is a wonderful opportunity for local communities to come together for a meaningful cause.
