About NLLC
The Mission of NLLC
The National Leadership and Literacy Camp (NLLC) fosters intellectual and personal growth and development through activities that embrace the social, physical, intellectual, communicative and emotional (SPICE) domains of learning and becoming. Watch video of 2003 NMLLC!

The mission of this program is to prepare - through a challenging learning environment - each child for a meaningful and productive life in a competitive and ever-changing world. Daily program activities are carefully planned so as to develop a social-educational climate specific to the development of basic personal autonomy, appropriate future aspirations and positive participation in society.
